If you want you may need to have mirror of "updates" repository, that is separate repository from "base", that contains originally released packages. You can use any methods you familiar with, e.g. rsync, wget mirroring or reposync (from yum-utils package).

If this returns nothing, as root user do "makewhatis" and try it again. Then read some of what is returned by doing "man <whatever>", omitting the quotes and replacing the "<whatever>" with the name of the man page.> <snip sig stuff>-- Bill
