The question is simply what do we do with the small percentage of
Appendix F that has some useful information (although 0% is relevant
for the Handbook). The only two sections that I would keep would be
these :
"The UART what it is and how it works."
"Storage Devices"
I don't think either is particularly relevant but someone has spent
time writing a lot of technical information so I think perhaps we
should move these out into two seperate tutorials and then at a later
date if someone wants to write some super hardware document for
FreeBSD then they've got these to start from.
Are there any objections to me moving these two sections out of
Appendix F into two new tutorials and then cvs removing the hw/
subdir? Does anyone have a better idea?
