hello, world!

I'm a FreeBSD newbie who has installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-i386 using
the "developer with X" option.  "man" doesn't seem to work:

    2006-07-12 21:59:38 root@k62350 ~
    # man man
    No manual entry for man

    2006-07-12 22:12:42 root@k62350 ~
    # echo $MANPATH
    :/root/local/man


The same goes for makewhatis:

    2006-07-12 22:12:47 root@k62350 ~
    # makewhatis
    makewhatis: : No such file or directory
    makewhatis: /root/local/man: No such file or directory


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
