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?
