PS: I installed two other gratis apps. Offline Reader ! 2.0 and PDF Reader Lite 1.2.3, the first app seems to be useless and when I downloaded it, I was asked if I'm >= 17 years old :D, but the second app does receive and display the handbooks named bsdde.pdf, bsden.pdf :) Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
