If not you can install a good text based one until you install your graphical user interface. /usr/local/bin/lynx file:///usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook/index.html If this does not work then do the following su - root cd /usr/ports/www/lynx make install clean exit /usr/local/bin/lynx file:///usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook/index.html This should let you view the English version of the hanbook Sincerely, Duane Whitty -- duane@greenmeadow.ca
