Author: eadler Date: Wed Apr 1 05:59:49 2015 New Revision: 46404 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/46404 Log: FAQ: multiple changes - remove leading "So" - simplify explanation of packages and pkg(7) - the old package tools are dead, don't ask about converting back - remove question about killing processes by name. This is not an FAQ and the FAQ is not an intro to Unix guide.
