indeed ;)

True, the reason I am saying about the handbook, is
because it is available in bookstores, and people feel
that their problems will be solved if they read off
from the hard copy.. well.. most :)

But FAQ is also neccessary

OK, for that, I have already made a diff for the
Installation chapter of the Handbook.  The diff
is sent as a Problem Report docs/34524.  The FAQ
entry is going to be sent as a followup to the
above mentioned PR. :)

[ I've also CC'ed this copy to freebsd-doc ]
