At http://www.FreeBSD.org/tutorials/ there are various tutorials on how to perform different tasks on FreeBSD systems -- or with applications that happen to run on FreeBSD systems. Given the nature (which I misunderstood) of your document, that would definitely be a better place for it than under the ports section of the handbook. -- |Chris Costello <chris@calldei.com> |Asking if computers can think is like asking if submarines can swim. `-------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the messagehelp
