I'd have time to look through the handbook on Thursday and report anything that looks urgent to me. Worth bothering? Worth rushing? Here's some ideas for starters. Is the handbook version on www.freebsd.org the latest? Any chance of getting *something* about X in there right away, even a paragraph or two, even a link to something? It really looks daggy empty and generates lots of questions (setup, startx, exiting, path, window manager needed). Under MS-DOS Users, Can I mount extended partitions, does /dev/sd0s5 (or whatever) have to be created first? If so, it'd help to say so here. BTW, these days Windows users will skip this section (What's MS-DOS?). What happened to Troubleshooting? :-( There's a few things that'd be real quick to add in there (panic can't mount root, etc) or stick'm on a web page somewhere and link to it from here. Long term, Unix Basics should contain some. Short term, how about pointing to a few on line tutorials. A quick easy big improvement. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
