If you buy the CDs from Walnut Creek you can get Greg Lehey's book for a small additional charge. The CDs will come with the FreeBSD handbook included. > 8. Third party software tools and apps. (if any - I am asking for too > many freebies here! ). There are over 2100 ports available for FreeBSD - not all of them will have their source on the CDs due to various restrictions (size, export laws etc). Go to the ports page to see what we have: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ The great thing is you can install all of these, once you have installed the ports tree from the CDs, by simply typing "make install" in the correct directory. :-) Brett *********************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu * brett@daemonnews.org * * http://www.daemonnews.org/ * *********************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
