I don't even know if portmaster is installed there.= So you really want just to see the versions, and then you upgrade them by ha= nd.

Indeed. I'd guess that those portions of the handbook have been fixed alread= y; the documentation is "staged" just like the code, meaning there's a "deve= loper" version and a "release" version. The one you're looking at is going t= o be the release version. If you'd like to take a look at the current revision, here's the instruction= s for doing so: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/= working-copy.html Unfortunately, you can't just browse it on the web like you can with the reg= ular handbook, so you'll have to do a checkout of the source code. And, of c= ourse, there's always the freebsd-doc@ mailing list to talk to the documenta= tion guys directly. --Matt
