I found the following problems from a quick glance: 10.2 The ttyXX ports are no longer actually there, since they are identical to ttydX. 10.5 (Lock/initial devices) Perhaps a reference to /etc/rc.serial could be there, it's a good place for such commands to go. 10.8 ``...since cu is just a hard link to tip.'' I thought we agreed to provide Taylor cu as our default? (Likewise, the sections following that describe the ugly syntax of /etc/remote look a bit ancient... Taylor config is _way_ easier.) Despite of this: GREAT JOB! This FAQ looks really nice! -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
