I have Ubuntu 6.10 installed. I'n trying to learn about Bash commands. I input "info cp", but I got the info on cpio. I checked "man cp" and it says if cp and info are installed correctly "info cp" should give me info from the manual for cp. I do not know how to check if these things are installed correctly. Where can I get guidance in this matter?
Cheers. rayclev.

The best I can do is confirm that the same things happens on my dapper machine. Maybe this is a bug, or maybe someone else will be able to help.
