Local copy of the website is easy to get with OpenBSD provided tools.
The website is managed through cvs(1) like all the rest of the project,
$ cvs -d [email protected]:/cvs checkout -P www/faq
That will pull down JUST the faq/ directory. Leave off the /faq
if you want the whole website.

wget can work nicely to download a web site locally. If you want to
email me separately I can show the command I've used. But then you'd
have to combine all the pages somehow with a script, as others said.
You speak with uncertainty, please take your time and give us the
script, It will benefit Gustavo as well I believe. (I do not think
it is possible and I've tried it myself)
dude. you are the guy who proposed "chmod 0"ing files for security.
From Nick Holland <[email protected]>:
Today, almost every browser on almost every OS gives YOU the option to
"print to PDF". So if you find it useful, you can do this yourself
quite "easily" (but tedious).
Asking them to "print to PDF" for every page on the /faq/ folder?
Maybe you should get a sanity check.
welcome to my very short shit list.
When it comes to documentation of this kind, I can recall some websites
out there that provides a download for the entire website as a folder
archived to read, I think you do too.. It really isn't much pain for
the people who already have the source with them to just put it on the
website with a version number perhaps to keep track.
Instead of us wasting time, doing weird wget, curl, awk, blah blah
hacks to get the entire website, openbsd.org could just put it on
something like: https://openbsd.org/faq/faq_x.x.tar.gz!
If anyone from openbsd.org is reading this, please consider this.
Considered. Rejected.
And you probably have no comprehension of how pissed off I am at you
for that statement, demanding work of others you won't perform yourself
and trivializing the effort. I did this for quite a few years, it was
a pain in the ass. That was when many computers didn't have the easy
ability to run a browser, and someone might have had use for it.
It's 2026 now.
Nick.
