Well, it's a kiosk Linux system. It's designed to run one application. 
What do you need manpages for?

On the one hand, you can always look it up on the Internet. On the other 
hand, the manpage you read in the Internet may or may not match the 
version of the tool you actually have installed. :-P

Also: Certain commands are not safe for Google.

    "man cp"     That's fine
    "man cron"   Also fine.
    "man kill"   Less fine.
    "man bash"   Be careful.
    "man head"   Caution.
    "man tail"   Er...
    "man trap"   Abort! Abort!
    "man mount"  >_<
