Manpages are an integral part of the program source for many of the base system utilities. Therefore, it's difficult to run just `one' command and have all the manpages that `installworld' gives you. But you can safely delete (or simply move away) the existing /usr/share directory right before `make installworld'... Try this: # cd /usr # mv share share.old # mtree -deU < /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist and then run `make installworld' in /usr/src. After installworld finishes successfully, you can delete share.old. It's no longer needed (unless you have manually installed stuff in there). :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
