Hello, I'm having to transition my main computer from Linux to FreeBSD (Linux dropping support for my hardware RAID card). Since I haven't run a BSD before, I thought I'd install FreeBSD to my laptop. I wanted a hard copy of the handbook to read like a book (easier flipping, bookmarks, etc). To that end, I got the pdf file and sent it to my local printer shop. Unfortunatly, the pdf (and the ps, I checked), does not add a blank page so that chapters start on the right hand side (i.e. on an odd page number). This especially happens at section boundaries. What should happen is that, whatever page the previous chapter ends on, the section header page should start on an odd page and so should the following chapter. Neither I nor the printer noticed this, so no my book is bound with the page numbers at the binding and chapters running right into the section boundaries. I don't know docbook (I do everything in Latex), so I can't provide a patch, but I can't imagine it would be too hard to set this up. Thanks, Doug.
