You can find "The Complete FreeBSD" on the cd, the > "Absolute Beginner's Guide to FreeBSD", and "For People New to Both FreeBSD > and UNIX" (aug, 1997). All are online and free, but I lost their URLs It's much easier than that. You don't need their URLs. All of the basic useful stuff is listed on the newbies web page http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html (I hope that's right) and if anything important is not there, someone will ask me to put it on. Next update should be around the end of the month BTW. But it's easier than that because you don't need to know the URL for the newbies page. Just go to the FreeBSD site and you'll see a link to it. Can't remember FreeBSD's domain name to work out the URL for it's web site? No problem, you don't even need to remember that! Just wait for the next Friday/Saturday to roll around and read the "First Aid Kit" that comes to you through the freebsd-newbies list. Or look through your old mail to find the last copy you got. It's all in there. Don't know what day of the week it is? Type 'date' at the prompt. Don't know what the prompt is? Work through the tutorial "for people new to both freebsd and unix". The newbies page has a link to it. To find the newbies page...
