I bought a used 486 [...] The thing I am recently considering is, that we have a list ``for'' newbies does not alway mean that we will cater for newbies. I recognize its list as only a milestone for them, that is, by it, they should know what to do, how to learn, and how to live with our community. This is not immediate help. If they get a reply of only a line of ``see foo(1)'' in for-newbies-list, they may think it as it is. I personally think they are less disappointed than we think, because there is the place for newbies. They can know a fault of their question is not due to their ignorance about FreeBSD at least.
