What's the problem? Stuff in /usr/src is obviously source to the actual installed stuff, and thus shouldn't concern you in the least if you're looking for documentation. Stuff in /usr/doc is sort of a hybrid between the ports collection and src, and it contains the source to FDP documentation. Not of much direct use in finding documentation. /usr/share/doc is the install location for FDP documentation, and a few other bits from src/. /usr/local/share/doc is the place where ports put documentation. It's all pretty straightforward, really (: Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner nbm@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
