Minor language tightening in the sections I'm touching anyway. Someone may want to justify the last portion of this in a whitespace-only commit. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: *** en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml-dist Tue Nov 20 21:19:43 2001 --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml Sun Nov 25 19:04:04 2001 *************** *** 671,678 **** ports. !

Now that you have found a port you would like to install, ! you are ready to do the actual installation. The port ! includes instructions on how to build source code, but no ! actual source code. You can get the source code from a CDROM ! or from the Internet. Source code is distributed in whatever ! manner the software author desires. Frequently this is a ! tarred and gzipped file, but it might be compressed with some ! other tool or even uncompressed. The program source code, ! whatever form it comes in, is called a ! distfile. You can get the distfile from a ! CDROM or from the Internet. Installing Ports from a CDROM *************** *** 681,696 **** ports installing from CDROM ! As you may have guessed from the title, everything ! described in this section assumes you have a FreeBSD CDROM set. ! If you do not, you can order one from the FreeBSD Mall. ! ! Assuming that your FreeBSD CDROM is in the drive and is ! mounted on /cdrom (and the mount point ! must be /cdrom), ! you are ready to install the port. To begin, change ! to the directory where the port you want to install lives: &prompt.root; cd /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof --- 690,708 ---- ports installing from CDROM ! The FreeBSD Project's official CDROM images no longer ! includes distfiles. They take up a lot of room that is ! better used by precompiled packages. CDROM products such as ! the FreeBSD Power Pak do include distfiles, and you can ! order these sets from a vendor such as the FreeBSD Mall. ! This section assumes you have such a FreeBSD CDROM ! set. ! ! Place your FreeBSD CDROM in the drive. Mount it on ! /cdrom. (If you use a different mount ! point, the install will not work.) To begin, change to the ! directory for the port you want to install: &prompt.root; cd /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof *************** *** 776,783 **** Installing a port from the Internet is done exactly the same way as it would be if you were installing from a CDROM. The ! only difference between the two is that the program's source ! code is downloaded from the Internet instead of pulled from the CDROM.
