The reason there's no index is because there aren't any index tags in the DocBook version of the handbook. This is something on the Doc Project's todo list -- it's not a small task, and putting off publication just wasn't going to happen until it was completed. Btw, take a look at the table of contents -- it's fairly detailed (yes, I know, not as much as an index would be). - 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-questions" in the body of the message
