AT YOUR ---OWN--- RISK. YOU SHOULD NOT TRY ANYTHING IN THE FAQ OR IN THE MAILING LIST ON CRITICAL APPLICATIONS COMPUTERS HAS QUESTIONS & ANSWER MAY CONTAIN ERRATA. YOU SHOULD NOT ASK ABOUT HARDWARE OR "ADVANCED" QUESTIONS ON THIS LIST. YOU SHOULD CORRECT ANY BAD ANSWER OR ADD ANY MISSING INFORMATIONS. THE GOAL OF THIS LIST IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO START IN THE FREEBSD WORLD AND TO OFFER SOME BASIC SUPPORT, BUT ALSO TO ---DOCUMENT--- THOSE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY NEW USERS IN A FAQ MAINTAINED BY NEW USERS. ---------- Really simple I think. Maybe Sue is interested ;-) Please Cc to me any comment because I'm not on the list. -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
