Hello All,

Is there a way to install a port without the man-pages.  I'm trying to
install a dhcp server onto a Tinybsd image and end up buying myself a
bunch of files in /man, as seen at
http://code.google.com/p/tinybsdap/wiki/InstallingPorts (hope the
linking is not minded).

Ports should honour the NOPORTDOCS make variable and not install any
documentation (including man pages).

You can add 'NOPORTDOCS=yes' to /etc/make.conf to have it apply
generally, or you can apply it while installing an individual port
by eg:

   # cd /usr/ports/some/port ; make -DNOPORTDOCS install


   # portinstall -m NOPORTDOCS=yes some/port

and half a dozen or more variations on those methods.

        Cheers,

        Matthew
