Actually, it is already available in archived form on the FreeBSD FTP server; check out this directory: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handboo= k/ =2E..and, specifically, the book.html-split.tar.bz2 file there. It's just that there are no links to this directory on the FreeBSD website. > BTW, who do I contact if (when) I need assistance? This list.
