------=_Part_248605_1163119480.1676584888951 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have installed very recently from what was probably: https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/13.2/FreeBSD-13.2-PRERELEASE-amd64-20230204-d07eb716f35d-254363-disc1.iso When I got at the end of installation I choosed to install the handbook. When I booted on the system, I first searched in my home directory, then in /root, then after a while I saw the link to it in motd (message of the day) after logging in. I navigated to said directory to find a handbook in pdf format. So I installed lynx, and read the handbook online. Was able to get to a working well enough graphical system. Other people have remarked the oddity of the thing (to expect people on a text system to read the pdf file that explain how to install the graphical system). I am asking here because you are supposed to be interested in 13.2 development at this time if I understood right. But maybe I am suppose to ask to documentation team... unsure. My wish would be that the installer would install a text version of the handbook. ------=_Part_248605_1163119480.1676584888951 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head>= <meta content=3D"text/html;charset=3DUTF-8" http-equiv=3D"Content-Type"></h= ead><body ><div style=3D"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif= ; font-size: 10pt;"><div>I have installed very recently from what was proba= bly:<br></div><div><a target=3D"_blank" href=3D"https://download.freebsd.or= g/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/13.2/FreeBSD-13.2-PRERELEASE-amd64-20230= 204-d07eb716f35d-254363-disc1.iso">https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/a= md64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/13.2/FreeBSD-13.2-PRERELEASE-amd64-20230204-d07eb716f= 35d-254363-disc1.iso</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>When I got at the end= of installation I choosed to install the handbook.<br></div><div><br></div= ><div>When I booted on the system, I first searched in my home directory, t= hen in /root, then after a while I saw the<br></div><div>link to it in motd= (message of the day) after logging in.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I navi= gated to said directory to find a handbook in pdf format.<br></div><div><br= ></div><div>So I installed lynx, and read the handbook online.
