* Problem: Installation doesn't create any of the subdirectories * under /usr/local, such as /usr/local/man/man[1-8], as specified * in /etc/mtree/BSD.local. (It isn't considered strange or unusual This is intentional. How you organize /usr/local is totally up to you, and it was agreed upon (a long time ago, I've heard) that we ship the operating system with /usr/local empty. However, when you show the slightest hint of your intention of using /usr/local the way we thought you might, i.e., by typing "make install" in one of the /usr/ports subdirectories that install things in /usr/local, or use "pkg_add" or "pkg_manage" to add a package that puts things in /usr/local, you'll hear a big !BAM! and it will be populated with all the "regular" directories (as specified in BSD.local.dist) as fast as you can say "wow". :) Satoshi
