Hi,

I just completed my first cvsup - driven upgrade (to 4.4-STABLE from
4.3-RELEASE) and for the most part it proceeded beautifully. I'm coming
from Debian GNU/Linux and so far FreeBSD is knockin' me out. Couple
things, tho:

1) After the make buildworld, et al steps I ran mergemaster as the
Handbook recommended. This process repeatedly  prompted me to make
decisions re: whether to keep things as they were or to install
new. Default was to keep things as they were and I chose this in every
case because I wasn't exactly sure what the best choice *was*.

Was this, er, a bad choice?

2) Dumb question but I searched on freebsd.org and couldn't find anything:
after updating /usr/doc via cvsup, is there any *rebuilding* of man pages
necessary? Do I need to make world in there, too?

One of the reasons I'm asking -both- these questions is that I'm getting a
few "Warnings" and "Stray cats" when I run tkman, and I'm just wondering
whether this is traceable to either of these things ...

Thanks for any tips,

Glenn Becker
