Use this if you did not do a buildworld first. There is a popup for selecting what vintage/context of the page that the man button will get the page from. https://wiki.freebsd.org/EmbeddedHandbook has an example use, but does not talk theory for such. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)home | help
