I see this mail of yours every friday at 1:02 PM and wonder if it is just a cronjob mail. I wish if it could have a synopsis of what are the recent additions to the errata since the last mail was sent out. Thanks RR ps. BTW is your site down today ? -----Original Message----- From: grog@freebsd.org [mailto:grog@freebsd.org] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 1:02 PM To: FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.org Subject: "The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.
