Magic !!!! ..... guaranteed way to reduce the number of "stupid newbie questions" to a fraction of what it is. A couple questions .... I presume the screenshots were captured within X Windows using something like Gimp ..... if thats the case then how are the really early stage screenshots eg "Kernel Configuration Menu" done ?? I'm aware of the "script" thingy, but there doesn't appear to be any way to use that before first reboot. I've traditionally used actual photos for documentation & this is OK for hard copy & LAN use but the size of photos make webpages a bit slow. g "Kernel Config Menu" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Pratt" <rpratt@ezwv.com> To: "Nik Clayton" <nik@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <freebsd-docs@FreeBSD.ORG>; "Doug Young" <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au>; "Murray Stokely" <murray@osd.bsdi.com>; "Jim Mock" <jim@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 3:05 AM Subject: Re: (was) I'm leaving, now something like "anti official docs rant" :) > There is now a 4.3 version of my "Install Preview" now posted at: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~rpratt/43/index.html > > There is a series of these dating back to the 2.x release and have been > linked from the http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ page for quite some time. > > I've also created a version for the 4.3 that uses png captures of the html > tables for purposes of conversion to sgml.
