Additional idea: Open this page in your web browser and press ^P. Redirect the output to a file (usually a .ps file). Then use ps2pdf to make a PDF file from it, and then use pdftk to extract the chapters you want to have (use a PDF viewer such as xpdf or gv to find the page numbers representing that range). Probably you can also use the misc/freebsd-doc port to generate the PS or PDF output you want. If you already have it installed, you'll find The FreeBSD Handbook here: /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook The files book.html and book.txt can be found in this directory. Note that FreeBSD does not publish free and open documentation in proprietary formats such as "DOC" because using such a format would be a bad idea as it limits usability and portability of information. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
