Description Chris Pepper 2002-06-10 05:00:05 UTC 

Fix: Various textual tweaks & cleanups.
	Mention INSTALL files.
	Point out that ports & packages are related earlier in the text.
	Replace "name space" reference, not meaningful to new users.
	Replace "CDROM" with "CD-ROM".
	Move pkg_delete after pkg_info, since pkg_info is required to find the full pkg name for pkg_delete (wildcards are not mentioned yet at this point).
	Fill out checksum explanation. Separately, suggested removing & redownloading
	Mention that distfile can be grabbed manually.
	Clarified that make continues after satisfying dependencies.
	
	Question: <file:///pepper/handbook/ports-trouble.html#Q4.7.1.5.> says Kermit's distfile would be on the CD, but "4.5.2.1 Installing Ports from a CD-ROM" seems to say that distfiles wouldn't be on the CD-ROM anyway. Should this be removed or reworded?

"The FreeBSD Project's official CD-ROM images no longer include distfiles. They take up a lot of room that is better used for precompiled packages. CD-ROM products such as the FreeBSD PowerPak do include distfiles, and you can order these sets from a vendor such as the FreeBSD Mall. This section assumes you have such a FreeBSD CD-ROM set."
