Questions could be broken down into several topics which would cut down the traffic on questions. Say one on Hardware issues, 0ne on network interface issues, and one on setup issues might fit the bill, but I am just a new-bee my self with lots of questions and still reading the reams of documentation. -----Original Message----- From: That Guy [mailto:thatguy_11@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 7:48 PM To: Charles.S.Libby Subject: RE: mad about questions? newbies list=what? Its in the Complete Freebsd, the Lehey book. It does mention that newbies isn't the place for seriously technical questions, but it does infer questions should be asked here. Anyway, what else do you want to do? Its not like this list has any traffic as it is. Tiering the questions list into a couple or 3 makes sense to me, simply because I can't handle deleting 200 emails a day from -questions. >From: Libby Charles-CCL044 <Charles.S.Libby@motorola.com> >To: "'Sue Blake'" <sue@welearn.com.au> >CC: "'freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG'" <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> >Subject: RE: mad about questions? newbies list=what? >Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 16:19:09 -0500 > >It does???
