Hmm... I think more on modems. Seems to be a mystery to people growing out of single user systems. I'm willing to contribute if it's any help. From the questions I see, something more on the nature of disks -- cylinders/sectors, etc. Although I have to admit, I don't know where to go with this since I think what is already written is clear. For me -- I'd like to see some appendices on parts of FreeBSD that are either incomplete (LFS, lockd, etc) or have gone beyond what is common in commercial OSs (NFSv3, etc) and a road map into the future through 3.0. Also, an appendix on performance tuning would be nice, but I think this may go beyond the scope of your book. Writing a book like this about a dynamic system for an audience that covers the gamut from newcomers to the grizzled old timers is difficult. You've done a good job. Thanks. -- Jay On Tue, 2 Sep 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > I'm currently working on the next edition of "The Complete FreeBSD", > which will be significantly more complete than the current version.
