Lawrence, We rarely turn down any documentation. Mind you, we might run it through the wringer a few times to make certain that it's correct. :-) Unlike the Linux HOWTO folks, we bend over backwards to provide an absolutely central, completely correct documentation source. We aren't always completely successful, but that's the goal. ==ml On Fri, May 03, 2002 at 09:20:58PM +0200, Lawrence Mayer dsg wrote: > Hi, > > I am brand new to both Unix and FreeBSD (made my first FreeBSD > installation a week ago).
