I would like to update my local copy of the handbook, and it seems to be
more of a problem than it should be. I've searched the handbook on line.
I've read freebsd/docproj/primer, which says it assumes I already know how
to do what I'm trying to find out about. I've installed the port
textproc/docproj, without JADETEX. I cd to /usr/doc and tried to do make
ENGLISH_ONLY all install, and get the message make: I don't know how to
make ENGLISH_ONLY, so I read the Makefile and try again: make
-DDOC_LANG=en_US.ISO_8859.1 all install. So make runs for a while and ends
with:

cd: can't cd to /usr/doc/de_DE.ISO_8859.1
*** Error code 2

I've tried searching the archives and haven't found much.

Since I speak, read, and write only English and Thai, I don't feel I want
to waste disk space on documentation in German, French, Big-5 Chinese, or
Swahili. So I made a refuse file to avoid downloading all those directories
when I cvsup (as shown in the cvsup FAQ). *Must* I have all the
translations to update my docs? If not, what have I missed?
