However, I've also done some cleaning-up on the existing FAQ:- * Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old question into the answer. * Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and move it out of the installation section. * Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a lot of queries about this) * Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be particularly informative... * Correct typos and grammar, tone down US colloquialisms :-) and many more. By the time you receive this, I should have a copy on http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/faq/freebsd-faq.html As always, comments and corrections are more than welcome. I'm hoping there might be time to squeeze this into 2.1.5, so let me know straight away if you spot any mistakes! -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
