Hi Lucky-- An excellent idea. A few thoughts for you: 1. You could peruse recent release notes (at least for i386) to get started. What little I know about the CPU-related options is encapsulated there, so thirty minutes on the phone with me is not likely to be useful, BTW. :-p 2. The CPU options in LINT are both version- and architecture-dependent. This fact probably makes this information a good candidate for the architecture-dependent hardware notes in the release documentation, with a pointer from the Handbook. 3. If you want a review on markup (or you want someone to mark up text for you), freebsd-doc@ is a great place to send things for feedback. Good luck, and thanks for volunteering to document this stuff! Bruce.
