Did I get dropped? No, the whole list stopped for most of the day yesterday (depending on where your time zone is) and since then we've all been busy doing other things, probably reading man pages :-) Do you have as much trouble understanding man pages as I do? They make a bit of sense once the material is familiar, but for learning how to do something new it's pretty hard to work out. You need to be able to take a few concise hints and extrapolate from there to discover how to make use of the info. Is that how it seems to you or not? Have you ever seen anything that helps people understand and use man pages in general? -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
