This document assumes that you already know:

• How to maintain an up-to-date local copy of the FreeBSD documentation by maintaining a local copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository (using CVS and either CVSup or CTM) or by using CVSup to download just a checked-out copy.

• How to download and install new software using either the FreeBSD Ports system or pkg_add(1).
