I could remove them, I guess. If I get no feedback on this, I will. 2) deCSS disclaimer Currently I footnote the use of the WITH_DVD option in building mplayer, which causes it to build mplayer with deCSS support. I'm in the US, where the legality of using such a binary is dubious. Other webpages on video I have seen opt for various disclaimers about this so as not to get shut down. I'd certainly not want a nasty letter to arrive at freebsd.org demanding that the online-handbook be taken down. If I get no feedback on this I will remove the empty footnote and not worry about it. 3) sound chapter The current sound chapter contains four sections on setting up sound and getting various applications to work. If we go with the original wording of the PR, then I should change this to a chapter on multimedia (which involves changing a directory-name within the CVS archive -- something I always thought was best done with care to ensure proper tracking), merging the video playback chapter I have into it such that sound becomes one section and video playback becomes another (which various promotions of sect{n}'s to sect{n+1}'s and perhaps some minor reworking of other peoples "territory"), and finally a PR perhaps left open for video capture (which I think is fillable if one has the right toys). A meta-synopsis needs to be made for the resulting multimedia chapter. Given the messiness of merging, and of ensuring good tracking by CVS, I'm ambivalent about which way this one should go: add or merge. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
