I agree with Chris here. Much of the info in the FAQ can be shoved into the handbook in either existing chapters or new chapters. I'll try to make some time to go through the FAQ and see what can be split out sometime this weekend (won't happen tonight since I'll be going out the door shortly -- possibly tomorrow or Sunday). One thing we could do for history's sake is link stuff from the FAQ to the handbook after it's moved. For example: Q: How do I do <foo>? A: This is covered in Chapter X of the handbook. Although that assumes we're not going to "start over" with the FAQ (which I don't really think is a bad idea to begin with...). - jim -- jim mock <mij@soupnazi.org> http://soupnazi.org/ | jim@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
