Nope. I am not willing to do the work for anyone unless they pay me. I am willing to point people in the right direction though. I generally avoid giving people answers that they can find in the documentation, just point them there. Otherwise, what's the point of documenting anything. In the end, people need to read FAQs, man pages, and books to become self-sufficient. This mail list gets a lot of questions that people could answer for themselves. That's a lot of noise we could do without. IMHO, this list should be for questions that cannot be answered by reading the available docs. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
