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.
