It's called "The Complete FreeBSD". I has the 2.1.5 distribution plus 10 or so chapters on setup etc. It also has 600 some-odd pages of essential man pages. I think I paid US$50.00 for it the other day. Josef -- Josef Grosch | Laugh while you can, monkey boy ! | FreeBSD 2.1.5 jgrosch@sirius.com | - John Warfin - | UNIX for the masses
