I tried an online primer I found on the web and it didn't help much. I could at the very least supply you with HTML. Iam still taking finals and have some projects, but I wanted to give you an idea of my plans regarding FreeBSD doc. I am thinking to start helping first with PC hardware compatibility since that is rather empty. After than I am planning to work in the PPP configuration. Could we get someone to create a form to place in the current pages so people could supply their configuration in a formated way? What I am looking for is a form that would generate a file that could be parsed. For instance something like: #CPU: Intel 486/33 #Video card: Speedstar #Hard Drive: Maxtor...... The leading character can be anything of course I just thought of # but as long as it will be something uncommon in a sentence it will be fine. In the initial stages I would like the info to be emailed to me since I am planning to start by using either REXX or Foxpro. Later on I wan to convert the program/script to either C or perhaps Perl (after I learn it) so it could be run by anyone using FreeBSD.
