This has been a long standing thingy.. every so often we see a please send me your configuration and I will send back a list ( I even tried this ) and usually we get sporadic answers at best.. I seem to remember a list somewhere in the installation docs about running configurations ... I can write some scripts to make this easier to find.. .and mabey a web page to hang off of freefall with the list with configurations and other useful information ( benchmarks, usage, installtion info etc.. ). > > So the focus of this thread is " Is there a way to better inform > > visitors to the Home Pages so that they might find the answers without > > posting to the questions list? " ( biggie .. ain't it ;-) > Very. Are you volunteering to help? :-) Invariably.. I have not been vary active lately with this group.. ( and been admonished via a third party by certian persons with the initals JH ;-) Considering all that FreeBSD has done for me, I certianly should take up somthing!! I will start working this as well.. can somone point me to THE webmaster for our pages ... I note that www expands to quite a few people. > What may help is publishing Greg Lahey's ``How To Get The Most From > Questions'' mail somewhere BEFORE you get to the mailto: url... Yes! this might be a good starting point... especially if the in-between page offers direct links to the Handbook, the Faq, and the search engine. -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | branson@widomaker.com Ferguson SysAdmin | http://widomaker.com/~branson
