Portmaster is not part of the base at all, it's a port itself. However, it is supported for all outstanding versions of FreeBSD. The problem with the link seems to be that the man page is not installed anywhere that the man.cgi can find it. If a committer who is familiar with that process can reply to me by private mail on how to fix that, I would be grateful. :) All that said, you can install ports-mgmt/portmaster and read the man page pretty easily, then if you find that it doesn't meet your needs just pkg_delete it. Alternatively you could do: cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/files nroff -mdoc portmaster.8 | more hope this helps, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
