Another thing to learn! :-) Well, you can also just download ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/doc/handbook.tar. That means, though, that anytime you want to update your copy of the handbook, you'll have to re-download the whole thing. Personally, I keep a "checked-out" copy of the handbook up-to-date so I can change it easily... I think you can use anon-cvs to do the same... There's some info in the handbook, but I think all you'd need to do would be cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs co handbook and then to update it, cd handbook cvs update > > or use it to build a local copy of the entire site with > > > > % make You'll need the various SGML and LinuxDoc ports installed for this, too. I can't remember which ones, though... They're documented in DESCR, though, so if you search with http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ports for "LinuxDoc", you should probably find them. > Oh, another thing.
