Point taken, but what about a readme associated with a dependency install? I've seen them buried, even scroll off screen, in pkg install with a lot of dependencies.

I don't object to it, but when you install a package with such information, it says: # pkg_add xl2tpd quirks-2.66 signed on 2015-04-23T10:51:49Z xl2tpd-1.3.1p5: ok The following new rcscripts were installed: /etc/rc.d/xl2tpd See rcctl(8) for details. Look in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes for extra documentation. If people don't manage to find it when it's right in front of them, what hope is there of them noticing it in the FAQ? > --- faq15.html 27 Feb 2015 09:16:26 -0000 1.105 > +++ faq15.html 25 Apr 2015 15:18:01 -0000 > @@ -370,6 +370,9 @@ scaled.
