But the question asked for doco *in source* (presumably TeX) or *Postscript*. I know you can get this from /usr/share/doc in the 4.4BSD-Lite tree, and that it's a simple matter of ftp-ing to a local site to download it. I also know that Walnut Creek publishes the Lite source on a CD ROM (NOT the FreeBSD CD ROM). What I don't know is why, WHY?, FreeBSD hasn't included this doco in its releases. Please, someone elucidate! Are there copyright restrictions, space restrictions, or is this a terrible oversight? While we're at it, why omit the pascal compiler from the FreeBSD release? It's included in Lite.... why all this "pruning"?? Confused, Raoul.
