The "dangerously dedicated" section is completely obsolete. The section can probably just be deleted. An alternative would be something that talks about the relative merits of MBR, BSD (formerly "dangerously dedicated"), and GPT partitioning -- MBR vs. GPT being the really important bit. 2. The jails documentation (not part of your email) should probably be revised in light of the bsdinstall jail /path/to/newjail target, which installs a jail system to a directory without rebuilding world. -Nathan
