Well, not, in fact CFBSD contains less than 20% of the man pages. For those of you who don't know it, this translates to about 1000 pages; the total man pages would be about 5,500 pages. > Alternatively, you can get a ridiculous amount of man pages on > the FreeBSD site.

If you want printed man pages, I'd strongly recommend printing them out as you go. I don't know anybody who would read 5,500 pages, and we're planning to remove most if not all man pages from the next edition of CFBSD. You can print a man page in ASCII with man | lpr If you have a PostScript printer, you can use the -t option to man to print it in PostScript.
