What sets did you choose? Defaults? Custom sets? Maybe you accidently 
unselected the "man" set or you chose a minimal install or a custom set 
(not Full)?

 The minimal installation just selects a kernel (GENERIC
 on most platforms), the base set, and the etc set.
 Note that the minimal choice does not include manual pages.
 Also select the ``Online Manual Pages'' for a good lightweight install.

 The custom installation option defaults to just the minimal sets.

Note that other sets include other manual pages also. Do you have other 
manual pages? (find /usr/share/man   but don't mail that to this list if 
long.)
