How about a couple of other alternatives? Hmmm. Rather than bloat the repo, can we put this onto wiki.freebsd.org? Downside, people tend to forget or it's too much of a hassle. Upside, no repo bloat. OTOH, if it is to be a file, IMO it should live in the doc repo. If people write up good notes they can be included directly from doc/. Personally, I prefer "put it in the doc repo" better. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
