You can use cvsup to update the /usr/doc tree, and then you can use the tools included from the text/docproj port to rebuild HTML or other versions of the documentation for /usr/share/doc. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Right, so you'd need to *get* 4.10 install media (e.g. boot floppies). I'm currently running 4.11-prerelease.

handbook version
I noticed that the local version of the handbook is from Release 4.7 and the version on the web site is 4.10. I'm not trying to be critical, I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to be performing some action to get the latest, or if 4.11 release (which I believe will be the last 4.x) will contain the latest version. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
