Then, I got a little perterbed when it started building and installing Xfree86. I think I'm just going to install the things listed in the "needed utilities" section of the documentation project primer. All I really wanted is to make HTML files out of the doc tree so that I could read the most up to date documentation. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 8/16/2001, 3:11:29 PM, Jamil Taylor <jamil_taylor@pobox.com> wrote regarding Re: Stable Documentation: > On Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:40:48 -0400 > Pete Fritchman <petef@databits.net> wrote: > > ++ 16/08/01 17:59 +0000 - Jeff Lee: > > | I am trying to keep up my reading of the docs from freeBSD-Stable, but I > > | have no idea how to turn the doc tree into a readable format.
