AFAIK, in general, the process of adding a new article is: 1. Commit the article under doc/en_US.ISO8859-7/articles/rcng/* 2. Add a SUBDIR entry to doc/en_US.ISO8859-7/articles/Makefile 3. Add a reference to the new article to www/en/docs/books.sgml > By the way, what short title would you suggest for the article? Does > "rc-scripting" look good? "The System Startup Scripts of FreeBSD" seems short to me. I'm not sure what you mean by "short title" though.home | help
