The numeric names like "handbook43.html" may change, but many pages have a link with a more descriptive name. $ cd /usr/doc/handbook $ make FORMATS=html The file "handbook.ln" will then contain a list of the symbolic links that will be created. If there is a descriptive name, you might be better off using that. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
