>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	Installed mirror 2.9 on FreeBSD 2.2.7 

>Description:

	FreeBSD package install of mirror leaves user searching for documentation.


>How-To-Repeat:

	Install mirrow via sysinstall.  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.
