Am I missing something obvious here, or is something > confused? It is. Fire up /stand/sysinstall and choose Configure, Distributions, doc, and they docs will be installed into /usr/share/doc. I *know* how to install distributions. I said that the handbook wasn't *in* the distribution. As I said in my original message, I thought that the handbook was *supposed* to be in there, and I was *surprised* that it wasn't. Thanks for trying to respond, but you really haven't addressed the issue I was worried about. Be well.
