Simple. There is already a list called freebsd-chat populated mostly by the old hands who don't want newbies flocking in on their established group. I think many of us would feel the same. > The name "freebsd-newbies" gives me to understand that I, as beginner, > could ask questions and they might be answered by a more seasoned > veteran. As you can see, the demand is here. You can do that in freebsd-questions. That's what it's supposed to be for. If you have any trouble with that then tell me about it, but if you read the requirements at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html you'll be fine. > As for me, I don't run FreeBSD yet.

It depends in what way they're stupid questions :-) Being a newbie doesn't mean you're not part of everything else. Read the URL above, and if you don't feel you can ask your question there, please tell us all about it and we'll try to help you get your question up. Nobody who follows those guidelines will be treated badly when they ask a question. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
