Well, it fails to compile but I want to thing that the problem is peculiar to me. Has anyone managed to get it going? If not what do you use to make you docs print in color? My second question, does everyone else running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE have to edit their install options in /stand/sysinstall so that they can access the ports from the freebsd.org or any of the mirrors? Without doing that I always get the msg that the ports could not be found on any of those servers, so I always have to change my OS version to 4.1-STABLE. The same used to happen with 4.1.1-STABLE. Is there something I need to do to my sustem?
