What else would you like it to do? Fiddling with sysinstall is, I think, exactly what I'm proposing. Why shouldn't there be a couple of "docs" options, along with the choices for X11, etc? To put the matter in perspective, how would folks like it if we required folks to add each X11 client or server explicitly? Basically, this is an "equal time (or at least convenience) for docs" plea. I think that folks who want complete, convenient doc sets on their machines should be able to say so at installation time, not be required to pkgadd them in, one at a time. For one thing, it isn't always clear _which_ docs will be needed, even if you already know the question you need to ask. So, I'd rather have them all... -r -- -- Rich Morin: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841, http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Prime Time Freeware: info@ptf.com, +1 408-433-9662, http://www.ptf.com MacPerl: http://www.macperl.com, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MPPE MkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MKLP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
