I have a few suggestion for the FreeBSD manual based
on my experiance.

1) On the section that discusses building your own
kernel, it should be emphasized to make a link to your
config file and place the original in /root/...! In
fact, It should be made the standard way to do things,
as I did the very stupid mistake of deleting my src
tree when I encountered problems with cvsup. Weeks
later I realized that my kernel source along with my
config file was also deleted!

2) Also, the part that discusses configuring printers
mentions that you can set the printer to interrupt or
polled mode from within the kernel, but when I tried
it, config complained (syntax error). I initially
tried to use lptcontrol by instering the command in
the file /etc/rc.local (I think) like suggested but
the file doesn't exist. It would be nice to know the
best way to choose a printer mode upon startup.

Anyway, enough complains. Besides the few quirks (hey,
no ones perfect) this manual beats the hell out of
many of the others I've read!
