I want to get the kernel man9 pages.
I have kernel-doc-2.6.24 rpm installed.
In /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/ is a Makefile, but it doesn't seem to work as-is:
make pdfdocs make: *** No rule to make target `/scripts/kernel-doc', needed by `/wanbook.xml'. Stop.

the stuff under the DocBook directory is meant to be built by running the appropriate "make" command from the top of the kernel source tree, not from the makefile in that directory. so, short answer -- i think you need to get the source tree, that doc rpm simply doesn't have everything you need to build those man pages.

Yeah, well, that sucks for Fedora.
I grabbed kernel-docs noarch from opensuse. Has all the manpages all ready to go.
Please, can we have this for Fedora?

i would imagine it's easy enough to do -- the fedora person simply needs to run the appropriate make *docs commands before bundling up the Documentation directory for the kernel-doc package. and i should know -- i've spent my share of time hacking around down there. :-)
put in a bugzilla on this.
