Yes, this is another book. Well, sort of. The original idea was that "Installing and Runnning FreeBSD" would be sold with the CD-ROMs from Walnut Creek, and "The Complete FreeBSD" would be sold in bookshops. It has 840 odd pages and includes all the text of "Installing and Runnning FreeBSD", plus a few additional sections and lots of man pages. Originally it was to have included 2 CD-ROMs as well, and that's still planned, but it's also available without CD-ROMs. As you may have heard, there have been some changes made at Walnut Creek, and it looks as if they won't reprint "Installing and Runnning FreeBSD"--instead, they will sell "The Complete FreeBSD" to everybody. A good idea, IMHO. It should be available from WC now (orders@cdrom.com), and I think it costs $29.95 without CD-ROMs, or $39.95 with (but don't hold me to it). > do you need an additional reviewer? Thanks, not now. I *could* have done with a review a few months back :-) Greg
