Well, I don't know about everybody else but I don't believe that the aim of this gentleman's OP was about being constructive, at all. Like somebody had already said here, he was just a kid that threw a rock on a wasp's nest, didn't have legs to run fast enough, and now he is crying all over the place because he got stung. So, to exhaust everything I have to say on this subject, I will try to translate the best I can, two popular sayings here in my country. I hope I can make their meaning get through. To his criticism on documentation: "To a good 'understander', a half-word is enough." To his deliriously vague critique on FreeBSD in general: "The dogs always bark. But the caravan steadily moves on." -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio.... YET!!] (99% winblows FREE)
