Tom,
please also consider this suggestion I made over two years ago:
*Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 08:53:34 +1100 (EST)
*From: Andy Farkas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*Subject: NOMAN
I was trying to build a minimul system from sources and noticed that
there is no mention of disabling the building and installing of man
pages.
Should the NOMAN knob be documented in both /etc/defaults/make.conf
and/usr/src/Makefile.inc1 ?

Tom, I like this patch. When you commit it, please tidy up the new description for MAKE_SHELL, which I think is a bit more chatty than necessary. :-) Thanks, Carl. This work is always a pain in the butt to do, but readers of the manpage get very frustrated if it isn't done. Ciao, Sheldon. Not a problem, Sheldon. I'm going to clean up a tad bit of the markup, unless Carl wants to hear my comments ;) I should get this done quickly. -- Tom Rhodes To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
