Hello, I am new to FreeBSD and I recently purchased a FreeBSD toolkit that includes a CD with the entire web pages and CVS repository on it. On viewing the directories contained within the CD I could see that each file had the suffix ",v" appended to it. I was hoping that I would be able to use the CD to look up tutorials and how to's but the information contained within the sgml files is not able to be properly read in netscape. Must I somehow install the documentation pages before I am able to view it in netscape and use the hyperlinks etc. Ironically, I'm sure that the documentation in the sgml pages on the CD explains all this, but I am unable to read it properly until I learn how to install it. I looked up the doumentation primer at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/docproj-primer/ <http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/docproj-primer/>; but it said "the document assumes that you already know How to maintain an up-to-date local copy of the FreeBSD documentation by maintaining a local copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository". Can anyone please point me towards a how-to or expalin to me how I install the documentation pages from the CD?
