You can also in your ports directory do a "make readmes", this will create a set of html files for each port. Reading the top level README.html will then give you hyperlinks to the appropriate page. You of course need the ports infrastucture in place for any port categories you are interested in. Be warned making this takes a long time, a real long time. You should make sure your INDEX of ports is upto date first, -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
