I'll have to leave the decision to the more experienced doc committers. You are correct in that its used both ways in the handbook/install doc and should be consistent. I am in the middle of updating the those docs to reflect the 4.6-RELEASE so I can apply whichever method is decided on. BTW, good catch. As many times as I've looked at that document, I never noticed that. Thanks! Randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
