Hello,
When I went for FreeBSD, I chose the minimal distribution and as a result
do not have man pages. I would like to install them but when I specify an

Dear Giorgos,
Thanks for your answer. You probably did not read my post. I do this
via sysinstall and it fails.

also good to keep in mind, that if you're going to be rebuilding the world and
updating that minimal install to -STABLE or RELEASE-p[latest], that you'll be
installing the man pages along with the updated world as well.
