Those distributions were a mystery to me the first time I installed FreeBSD and they still are. I've never understood why anyone would want to lump together significant ports installation with minor base-system penny-pinching in such an opaque way. In recent versions of sysinstall the documentation is packaged, so IIWY I'd just install the appropriate port or package. $ ls -d /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-* /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-all /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-ja /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-bn /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-mn /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-da /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-nl /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-de /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-pl /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-el /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-pt /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-en /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-ru /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-es /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-sr /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-fr /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-tr /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-hu /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-zh_cn /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-it /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc-zh_tw _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
