You and many other people. There's much discussion about this in the archives. Short answer: The FAQ and the Handbook have different goals. The FAQ is supposed to be brief and q&a oriented. Instead, it's full of brief tutorials that need to be integrated into the Handbook. Stuff like "why did I upgrade to -stable and get -rc?" belongs in the FAQ. ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.BlackHelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Absolute OpenBSD: http://www.AbsoluteOpenBSD.com/
