I have built and installed it without the docs, and will see if I can sort whats in the tarballs doc directory. With the fresh build, I'll be starting the configuration for my use from scratch. But I have a Dr's appointment about as fast as I can shave & shower & get there, another shot of some kind of $150/shot stuff in a knee I tore up a year & small change ago. Thanks Charles, I'll give it another try from the src install. After I follow the asciidoc link and see if that is fixable.
