Type "man mirror". Follow link to very slow web site. Note that if the user installed manual, he/she/it would know where the docs were, but the ports process, while normally wonderful, tends to hide this. >Fix: Modify man page to note URL (file://) location of installed HTML documentation. Work-around is to ask pkg_info where the docs are. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
