	i have been using FreeBSD and its predecessor 386/BSD for 
	about eight years now.

	i could write a manual....i can write one that would help
	newbies as much as newbies can.....i no longer remember 
	the things that drove me crazy....the things that iddnt
	make sense at the time.

	only newbeis can write that information.....an they need to
	do it right after the learn the answer.  while the newness of
	it and hte suprise opf hte answer is still fresh. ;)
