Tom,

*Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 08:53:34 +1100 (EST)
*From: Andy Farkas <andyf@speednet.com.au>
*To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG
*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 ?
