However, 4.4 does not mention that sysinstall can also be used for package management. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: I suggest to add the following to section 4.4: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use different tools to manage packages on FreeBSD: <ul> <li> Sysinstall lets you install, delete, and list available and installed packages. For more information, see 2.10.11 Install Packages. <li> The pkg* command line tools, which are described in the following. </ul> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, 4.4.2 "Managing Packages" should be renamed to "Listing Packages" because installing or removing can also be considered as a form of management. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
