Hi! I just acquired the FreeBSD 2.2.5 November 1997 4cd release from Walnut Creek CDROM, and installed on my PC. My problem is that I cannot be able to find the handbook or FAQ at all. The default /etc/motd tells me to look in /usr/share/doc/handbook but there's no such directory. I've tried reinstalling the DOC and INFO dists, but still no handbook available. Using /stand/sysinstall, i tried selecting "HTML handbook" or what's-it's-called, and the sysinstall tried to install lynx 2.7.1 but couldn't find it on the CD-ROM. After a while I figured the package filename was lynx-2.7.1-ag0.71 or something, so I wrote that in the "options" page for default browser, then tried choosing the "HTML handbook" option. Now the sysinstall successfully managed to install the LYNX package, but if I try to select any of the options on the next page of sysinstall ("Handbook" or "FAQ"), I just get an empty LYNX screen which says "unable to connect to host". Is it just me, or is the FAQ / Handbook missing on the FreeBSD 2.2.5 walnut creek CD-ROM? --- ,. ooo. _______________________________ `oooo .===================================. o. oooo ; xcene@c2i.net . ooo oo ,oo ' http://home.c2i.net/xcene/ : ooo o' ooo',oOOOo oo ,oo ,oOOOo | `'.oo ooo oo'^ooo oo^ooo oo'^ooo Frode E.
