In the meantime, you can find the > same section at: While having the full URL is better, I think that this might actually be a problem with the automatic link-finder in man.cgi. /doc/handbook/makeworld.html does exist, but the link in mergemaster(8) is resolved by the CGI to "http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html." - note the trailing '.'. I can't find another manpage reproduces this, and I can't work out the PERL that finds and creates HREFs from the URLs in the source. I might be jumping the gun, but is there a way to check that this fix definitely takes the trailing '.' off the generated link? Cheers, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
