Yes, this is definitely a major candidate for updating or nuking completely. I'm not sure enough people even use it to be worth updating. Besides, if it's updated, or nuked, I'll be able to close the PR that Murray opened a while ago pointing out how crufty it is :-) That said, how many of you would object to removing this section completely? We could always add it back later if someone updates it, I'm just starting to think that no info on it is better than 5+ year old info.. - jim -- jim mock work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
