If you had looked at the accompanying README file, this was a pre-publication draft for review only (and it contained a *lot* of errors)--thanks to the guys who reviewed it instead of ripping > disks.ps.gz is on freefall: > > ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/disks.ps.gz > > (or something like that ;) No, it's not there, and it shouldn't be put there. > Or else I have it. Please destroy the document. First, it's incorrect, and secondly, it's in violation of Walnut Creek copyright. Sorry to have to be so heavy-handed about this, but if people abuse this draft, it will be more difficult for me to post review drafts in future. On a more positive note, we're working on putting a correct version of the documentation in the online handbook. It's taking a while (I'm not doing it myself), but I hope that the person doing it will find time over Thanksgiving. In the meantime, it's in "The Complete FreeBSD", available from Walnut Creek CDROM. Greg
