The ports usually come with information in the form of manual pages, which should install on the system when the port is installed. There may also be other files, usually in a subdirectory called doc, or there may be a file called README. Check the PLIST (packing list) file in the pkg directory for a list of files that are part of the port. The documentation for the port may also reference a FAQ available on the Internet somewhere that might have useful information, or a mailing list to which you can subscribe, or a newsgroup. These may be useful for a while for getting a port configured, if it is a complicated one. Annelise
