That would be me. > The URL is: > > http://www.tinybsd.org/tinybsd/Documentation An SGML article, with most of the text being just an adaptation of the tinybsd/Documentation wiki page is now online at: http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/tinybsd-20080310-01/article.sgml A preformatted version of the article is available in the same directory. You can read it at: http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/tinybsd-20080310-01/article.html Can you please review the article? It would be interesting to know: - If there are technical errors in what I wrote. My first TinyBSD build is running as I'm typing this, so I don't really count as an experienced TinyBSD user. - If there is something else you would like me to add. - If there are parts you don't like about the text, sections that we should rewrite, fix, and so on. There are also a few parts which I haven't completely converted yet, and some places where I have questions about MFSROOT images and config file changes. I'll experiment a bit with the TinyBSD image I'm building now, but if you can help me fill in the last few sections, it would be nice :) You can see how I'm considering to organize the remaining sections by reading the SGML comments in the `article.sgml' file.
