So, as Miklos wrote it works fine with that small patch he sent, the pager does not have any problems either. If there's no objection with this in mind, I'd like to commit our first translations soon. I'd like to ask for approval from an src committer to commit that little patch and commit some man pages. My last question is just where they should go? To src/share/man/hu_HU.ISO8859-2? Or is there an alternative location for translated manuals? -- Gabor Kovesdan FreeBSD Volunteer EMAIL: gabor@FreeBSD.org .:|:. gabor@kovesdan.org WEB: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gabor .:|:. http://kovesdan.org
