 Hi,

 Just finished installing BSD 5.0.  Had an old CD, made an ISO image,
 attached it as a CDRom to a new VMWare machine, booted form it, and
 can log on.

If I were you I'd download a 5.2.1 iso and start again. 5.0 is a sort of 
first-cut beta version of the 5.x line which becomes officially stable 
with 5.3 in about a month.

You can install the manual pages separtely from the /stand/sysinstall
menu. you will find the option to install the man pages under the
Configure submenu. Alternatively you can rebuild the source tree and
the man pages gets built up in the process. I feel the second option
is a better choice because the stock tree has lots of compatibility
options built into it and then is much slower than a custom tree.
Refer to the make world section of the handbook to get further
information and procedure of the process.

 It's been a few years, since I've done the install or used UNIX.  I'm a bit
 preturbed since manual pages are not available and I can't seem to
 re-install them with sysinstall, which might not be seeing the connected ISO
 image.
 
 Any pointers to the step-by-step for installing manual pages?
 
 Thanks.
