I'm coming from Debian GNU/Linux and so far FreeBSD is knockin' me out. Couple things, tho: 1) After the make buildworld, et al steps I ran mergemaster as the Handbook recommended. This process repeatedly prompted me to make decisions re: whether to keep things as they were or to install new. Default was to keep things as they were and I chose this in every case because I wasn't exactly sure what the best choice *was*. Was this, er, a bad choice? 2) Dumb question but I searched on freebsd.org and couldn't find anything: after updating /usr/doc via cvsup, is there any *rebuilding* of man pages necessary? Do I need to make world in there, too? One of the reasons I'm asking -both- these questions is that I'm getting a few "Warnings" and "Stray cats" when I run tkman, and I'm just wondering whether this is traceable to either of these things ...
