Are you thinking of writing stuff for newbies to add to the FreeBSD documentation, or do you want to make them change it, or do you want to set up some documentation somewhere else away from the FreeBSD site? Of course the main point is getting the stuff written, but there are different ways to do it that will get you different kinds of help. It depends on what you want. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
