I nuked the documentation part and I no longer see this. I also added texlive[some from DVD and some from TexLive-FreeBSD-google code by Romain Tartiere]. I am also using kerTeX, http://www.kergis.com/en/kertex.html which is a small & portable TeX/LaTeX distribution. An announcement was made a while ago about kertex. Why am I asking? I want to see if the kertex packages are able to compile the FreeBSD documentation or not? I know in advance that texlive should do it, but I know that FreeBSD still clings on to TeTeX. TeXLive is big and all the reasons out in the sun I have heard, FreeBSD and Slackware(Linux) still use teTeX. I wonder what would be needed for kertex to correctly compile and produce the FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ. If there are source files somewhere so I can try the compilation and see what is needed, I would appreciate it. I have tried several books, and it has done them, but after some work hunting down some style files and putting them in the working directory, (TIA)Thanks in Advance Antonio
