On your
http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/troubleshoot/install.html.
There is a section 2. 10. I looks like two links but there are really
3. The kern.flp needs white space around it so that it stands out.

I think it is usefull. The people that need it are going to be the
ones that are trying to install it the first time. They are most like
trying to break away from MS but they will probably still have a MS
machine somewhere. A real app will only run on FreeBSD. When FreeBSD
doesn't work, where will they run the "real app". A doc like this is
the only way in my mind. I can create pdf or html. It covers all of
their "other" machines.
