Currently, it's on my own webspace at my ISP. What would the documentation powers that be like me to do with it now? Specifically, the tutorial 'package' consists of: - An SGML source file (marked up with DocBook) - A translation of this file to HTML - A Makefile to simplify the translation process - A Perl script to assist in finding files that have changed in /etc between upgrades If possible, I'd like to see it folded into the handbook as a part of the "Staying current with FreeBSD" section. This is work I can (probably) do myself. I now have a dial-up Internet connection and sufficient resources to maintain local copies of the 'src' and 'doc' CVS repositories. This would also let me assist in the LinuxDoc -> DocBook conversion project. Alternatively, I can provide a diff to the HTML (or SGML) source that's currently on the FreeBSD site and submit it with send-pr. Or the link on the FreeBSD site at could be changed just to point to my copy. N -- --+==[ Nik Clayton is Just Another Perl Hacker at Interactive Investor ]==+-- . . . and relax
