A man of his word, no less! :-) I think this is very good indeed and would mean the newbie would flounder less. A cross-ref to a list of commands sorted by related function would be helpful, as would a list of those strange-but-useful commands like "truss". A problem I face is the sheer volume of commands. There is probably a command to do what you want "somewhere" but the only way you would find it is by asking a number of gurus (eg via this list). Anyway, thanks Mike. -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
