FreeBSD (Sean?) split PostgreSQL into several ports so you can pick only the parts (or release) you want. There is a specific -docs port. postgresql-client postgresql-jdbc postgresql-plruby postgresql72 postgresql-contrib postgresql-libpq++ postgresql-pltcl postgresql_autodoc postgresql-devel postgresql-libpqxx postgresql-tcltk postgresql-docs postgresql-odbc postgresql7 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
