Having looked at the mailing list archives on http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/ it looks like the freebsd-config list is completely dead, so I wouldn't suggest asking there. You might want to try freebsd-hackers or else look in the handbook for another more appropriate list. > Should I attempt to get in contact with steve@freebsd.org? > (Author of the > http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/ > book) I would suggest trying to find the information you need from other sources and then emailing steve@freebsd.org to suggest additions to his book so that people in future don't have the same problems you did (you may want to cc that email to doc@freebsd.org - since the documentation people can alter the article as well). > ...

I hope I've pointed you in the right direction however. Good luck. Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
