I did not understand that.

I have just installed FBSD on a second machine on my home network, and I
am just now getting it configured and cvsupped, and recompiled.

I assure you, I have just browsed the German language handbook in
/usr/share/doc/~de.
I have not cd /usr/doc ; make install.

I never knew I had to make install in that directory, so how could that
have happened?
