How to install man pages on FreeBSD

Source: Internet
Author: User

I did a minimal installation of FreeBSD a long time ago. At the time, I did not install manual pages. To later install these man pages, I shocould be able to do the following:

    1. Run sysinstall

      # Sysinstall
    2. Select configure
      Configure do post-InstallConfiguration of FreeBSD
    3. Select Distributions
      Distributions install additional distribution Sets
    4. Select man
      [X] MAN system manual pages-recommended
    5. Select installation media
    6. Pick an FTP mirror and install.

Unfortunately, I have Ed the following error message:

Warning: Can't find the '8. 2-release-p3 'distribution on this ftp server. you may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any ").

To solve this issue, I went under the options for sysinstall and set the release name to 8.2-release, instead of 8.2-RELEASE-p3. Like the following:

    1. Go to sysinstall main menu and select the options

      Options View/set various Installation Options
    2. Choose release name
      Release name8.2-RELEASE-p3-> release name8.2-Release
    3. Then install the manual.

Thanks Titus barik.
