-    <para>The base system of &os; includes &man.portsnap.8; for
-      updating the Ports Collection.  This utility connects to a
-      &os; site, verifies the secure key, and downloads a new copy of
-      the Ports Collection.  The key is used to verify the integrity
-      of all downloaded files.  To download the latest Ports
-      Collection files, issue the following command:</para>
-
-    <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>portsnap fetch</userinput>

-    <para>What this example shows is that &man.portsnap.8; has found
-      and verified several patches to the current ports data.  This
-      also indicates that the utility was run previously; if it was a
-      first time run, the collection would have simply been
-      downloaded.</para>
-
-    <para>When &man.portsnap.8; successfully completes a
