In that section, links to the FreeBSD GNOME Project and to the FreeBSD-KDE team's web sites were added also for that purpose. These sites provide screenshots and many informations. It would be useless to "re-invent" the wheel. (look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/screenshots.html for example). > why do we provide screenshots of sysinstall in the install chapter? > to support the text, so why do not add 1 screenshot per desktop > environment? i will provide another pair of screenshots tomorrow. The case is different, it's really difficult to talk about various Sysinstall steps without some screenshots. And Sysinstall is a part of FreeBSD, GNOME and KDE are third party softwares, it's not the aim of our documentation to provide screenshots of every apps around, links are provided for that purpose. We already talked about that "screenshot problem" about one year ago, and with the same conclusion. Marc
