How should I go about getting > re-started? FreeBSD comes with manual pages and a handbook locally installed. The cocumentation can be viewed in many formats (typically as formatted text, but also as PDF files or web pages) - the toolchain to do so is part of FreeBSD as well. Here are a few examples for the online resources: https://www.freebsd.org/docs.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi The locally installed documentation can be accessed using the well-known methods "man <section> <topic>" and "apropos <topic>". The handbook is present in /usr/doc/<language>/. Additional documentation is present in /usr/share/doc and /usr/local/share/doc. > It's a dual boot. FreeBSD doesn't require this for documentation. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
