That's my impression as well. And I know (from painfull experience) that just checking out www is not enough to have or even build the web pages. Basically, you need copies of the src, www, and doc repos (not the checked out versions, the repositories themselves), a copy of the webupdate script adapted to your environment, some CPU and wall clock time, and about 550 Megs of disk space. Am there, doing that, and the scars are about to form :) /s/Udo -- Enjoy the beauty and power of root To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
