FreeBSD-questions:

I'm an FreeBSD newbie who just did a minimal install of FreeBSD 4.11 on some
vintage hardware, only to discover that the man pages seem to be missing.  So I
STFW, found the following:

 
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc/2004-01/0568.htm
l


ran /stand/sysinstall, and installed the man pages distribution.  But, I still
get the following:

    dpchrist@p166v:~$ man man
    No manual entry for man


I seem to recall running a "mandb" utility on a GNU/Linux installation sometime
in the past, but I can't seem to find the FreeBSD equivalent (if there is such a
thing).


Searching this list's archive for "No manual entry for man" didn't yield the
answer.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
