I get the message "No manual entry for portmaster", but using your=20 command I can read it. "man man" e. g. works perfectly. But there comes up another question (or two): How can I use it with all ports/packages? And will it upgrade my packages too, or is there something special I=20 have to look for, because I have mostly installed by "pkg_add -r"?
