Is there any reason we don't do this? Otherwise, the > attached patch should do it. Well, we don't do it because sysinstall isn't in the default build path, is never touched by "make world" or "make distribute", and hence never makes it into the man pages distribution with all the other manual pages, even with Nik's patch to the Makefile. I've thought of various types of evil hacks to work around this over the years, but they always seemed more evil than simply omitting the man page. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
