[edit] FreeBSD Manual Pages

FreeBSD's "man.cgi" script presents the online manual pages for several versions of FreeBSD and other manual pages.

To see pages such as nethack from FreeBSD ports, you must not set manpath to an OS that does not include ports. Note that the choice (currently FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE+and+Ports) that contains ports changes when the site adds a new version of FreeBSD. Note that if you bookmarked an old manpath (like FreeBSD+5.2-RELEASE+and+Ports) it acts like a nonexistant choice, which by the above list "uses latest FreeBSD release and ports".
