Description Josh Paetzel 2001-07-14 21:10:28 UTC

In section 4.3.1 (Installing a Package) of the FreeBSD Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.ht
ml), it says that packages can be found at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ports/packages. I couldn't find that directory. The
correct location seems to be
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages.

Fix: 

I sent a patch to the -docs mailing list.
How-To-Repeat: Read the handbook.

I've fixed this.  Next time, please include the patch in the PR;
nobody wants to have to dig through deleted mail or the archives.
Also, the HTML files on the web site are generated from SGML/DocBook
files; it'd be nice if you could send patches against those instead.
