I'll mail you a copy (in pidgin SGML so it will probably need to be refined to look nice when converted to HTML, for example), and you can maybe merge it with what you've written. I'm a relative newcomer to FreeBSD but I had a lot of SunOS experience so reconfiguring the kernel was something I felt I could write about with authority... Good to see others are interested in helping along the FreeBSD documentation! Expect my draft version later tonight... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
