Hi All.

 

I've been trying to build a FreeBSD system for about a week now and I'm
struggling with the level of detail in the handbook/manual. I'm not a
techo-newb; at 47 years old I've been in the loop since I built my first
computer aged 19 (1979) and I'm a Communications Engineer now but even with
all this experience It's still not easy.

 

Can I help please? (I do have some fair experience as a Technical Author).

 

Thanks

 

Andy.
