This is for the version 3 that's half out the door :-)

	

>Description:

Detailed instructions for installing netscape won't work. Ancient. Needs updated
version number (directory name), or delete netscape part.
Unable to assess advice to use BSDI version.

(And do the unpacked ports still only take "15MB"?)

	

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:

Quick edit. Sorry, no info for diff.
	
Relevant bits of ABOUT.TXT:

o WWW Resources:

Our WEB site, http://www.freebsd.org, is also a very good source for
updated information and provides a number of advanced documentation
searching facilities.  If you wish to use Netscape as your browser,
you may install the BSDI version from ftp://ftp.mcom.com or simply
type:

        # cd /usr/ports/www/netscape3
        # make all install

If you have the Ports collection installed on your machine.

<snip>


The ports collection may be installed like any other distribution
and requires about 15MB unpacked.  More information on the ports collection
may be obtained from http://www.freebsd.org/ports or locally from
file:/usr/share/doc/handbook if you've installed the doc distribution.

Last of all, the tools directory contains various DOS tools for
discovering disk geometries, installing boot managers and the like.
It is purely optional and provided only for user convenience.
