Before translators get going, I think we need to take a good look at the english install docs. As they are probably one of the most influential factors in whether or not a new user starts with a good impression of FreeBSD, extra care needs to go into their writing. I would encourage anyone who has time to look over what we currently have (http://www.freebsd.org/How/handbook/install.html) and make comments and suggestions on the doc mailing list (doc@freebsd.org). -john == jfieber@cs.smith.edu ========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
