Re: Is the handbook no longer installed?
one basic question is where is the normal place for the handbook? is is /usr/doc or /usr/share/doc? an iso install puts in in /usr/share/doc, and a 'normal' cvsup puts it in /usr/doc because one normally (yes, there is no normal:-) has *default base=/usr randy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It would have been appreciated if you'd mentioned that earlier. in which case you would understand it thoroughly from reading the FreeBSD Documentation Project Handbook. thoroughly would be quite overly kind to the doc Then don't build from sources; just download it pre-built.

I was not being sarcastic. I was suggesting you download the Handbook from the FTP sites, not cvsup the Handbook's sources. That would not involve jade at all, so you clearly didn't comprehend the advice I was attempting to convey. The following two commands would give you an updated copy of the Handbook in html-split format (you can get any other supported format in similar fashion): # fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html-split.tar.bz2 # tar -C /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook -xjf book.html-split.tar.bz2 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Is the handbook no longer installed?
/usr/doc is the canonical place for the sources, which should get installed into /usr/share/doc after a cd /usr/doc;make install. close to bottom line: doc is not made with buildworld. i guess it's off-planet. or maybe just outta this world. one needs to cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj make JADETEX=no install # or portupgrade with the hack in # /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf cd /usr/doc make FORMATS=html install # or whatever your favorite flavor is except the search link in the first para still does not work. there is no /search/index.html. randy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
