Page sources are available in the various on-line VCSes used by the project, but the man page sources are mostly interspersed with the C code etc. they describe. > and i need the compressed (tarball) for those section there is some way= to > download them Hmmm.... manpages are available on the distribution media for a release. For instance, look at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.2-RELEASE/manpages There are several combinations of $ARCH and $VERSION available -- but only for released versions, so 8.2-RELEASE is the most up to date availab= le. You'll need to download all of the files in that directory. Well, except for the CHECKSUMS.* and *.mtree files. Although not absolutely necessary, verifying the checksums is a good idea... The format is a split-up tar archive; if you read install.sh you'll see how to extract the contents. Be careful though -- by default unpacking that tarball will overwrite the manpages in /usr/share/man Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig66D5B25B7193F5CBA6DDA237 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk54ZgkACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxhxwCePiZcNDMPjin+cXAnY+GHFJd1 OQ0An2ZT9l6PS8eMhRSa08fzYENWAWQ1 =2h9U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig66D5B25B7193F5CBA6DDA237--
