Well, I think as a stop-gap measure the best we're going to manage is to somehow get these things into the INDEX and put them into a Doc category. I agree that material and ${LANG}uage should be broken out into subcategories but until such time, I think "en-Handbook" and "jp-FAQ" will have to be acceptable substitutes. This would, again, require no changes to sysinstall and given the degree of pain and inertia involved with changing that, I think that's an important part of the selection criteria. > I don't have the headspace at the moment for this sort of UI problem. Neither do I. Neither does anyone else I could point to. That's what precludes this as "the way forward" - it's only a good way of staying in place. :) > Would libh, with it's UI primitives, make any of this easier? I also I'm afraid not, at least not in the short-to-medium term. There are a host of issues regarding even using libh on the installation floppies and we're a ways off from making it even work for installs, much less doc selection. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
