Bug 39751

Summary:	handbook/ports-using.html sysinstall clarification
Product:	Documentation	Reporter:	Chris Pepper <pepper>
Component:	Books & Articles	Assignee:	Tom Rhodes <trhodes>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal
Version:	Latest
Hardware:	Any
OS:	Any

Description Chris Pepper 2002-06-24 02:50:01 UTC

	On <http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/ports-using.html>, under "Sysinstall Method", "7. Follow the menus to exit sysinstall." should be clarified, to point out that you can easily exit out without saving any changes, which obviously won't accomplish anything.

Fix: 

Clarify this section with a note that when exiting, the user should accept changes. I'm not sure what the exact procedure is, though.

Comment 1 Eric Anderson 2002-07-16 18:23:27 UTC

Here is a patch to clarify this a little.
