We have some entries in the FAQ that really aren't frequently asked. In practical terms, our FAQ is "short bits of documentation, plus FAQs" while the Handbook is "long bits of documentation." We want to make the FAQ just FAQs, fine. But what do we do with short bits? I'll ponder for a bit. Perhaps a new book would be the best thing. -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org my FreeBSD column: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
