Tom,
please also consider this suggestion I made over two years ago:
*Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 08:53:34 +1100 (EST)
*From: Andy Farkas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
*To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*Subject: NOMAN

is no mention of disabling the building and installing of man pages.
Should the NOMAN knob be documented in both /etc/defaults/make.conf and
/usr/src/Makefile.inc1 ?
