Since Netscape is a memory greedy program, you would probably find it nicer to download the split HTML version of the docs. It's much lighter than the 'single html' version. The Handbook is a large document. Printer on paper it took more than 700 pages last time I checked. Loading this in Netscape running on a machine with little RAM and not enough swap space is going to exchaust all physical and swap memory pretty soon. There is nothing wrong with the Handbook :P Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
