Mine is more than twice that size, it's a monster! I once dropped it on my foot and couldn't get up from the computer chair for three days :-) Maybe you've got the first edition? > and about 550 of them are > MANual pages.

There doesn't seem to be anything missing, and it describes how to do things so that even I can understand (and that's some accomplishment!) I haven't seen the first edition but from what you're saying there must have been an awful lot of stuff added since then. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
