I see it now under "4.5.2.1 Installing Ports from a CD-ROM"
- I skipped over that part because I do the over-the-internet
installs.  (And I had expected such a note to be in the
"Post-installation activities" section.)  My bad.  Sorry.
Rehash is noted in a New User tutorial, but I didn't know
enough to search for "rehash."  I guess I'm at the point,
as another suggested, where I need to buy a book and start
reading.
