Hmmm. I'm going to try out this free operating system and maybe get
away from windoze once and for all. Gee, I think I'll go drop $40 to
get this book so I know how to find drive D: as windows calls it.
Yeah, that makes sense. Har!
Now before you comment, yes I do own a copy of the book and refer to it
as needed. It's an excellent reference, but how to find and mount your
cd shouldn't require a 2 1/2" thick book whether it's 3am or 3pm. Many
new FreeBSD users are coming from the windoze world where the cd just
shows up like magic. There's no reason to make it unpleasant for them
to make the switch by hiding what should be obvious.
Vince.
