Short answer: the handbooks, articles, and other things are generally found on http://www.freebsd.org/ (and its mirrors) in HTML for your ready access. The site search feature isn't ideal IMHO, but judicious use of it can turn up the article(s) you need in the language you prefer. Lots of pre-generated HTML is also in /usr/share/doc/en, though it may fall out of date compared to the web site. Long answer (if you really have your heart set on generating documents from the raw SGML): Read all about the Documentation Project and its Primer. http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/sgml.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html (Also in /usr/share/doc/en/fdp-primer on your local system) Install ports/textproc/docproj > 2) Trying to solve a problem with my touchpad mouse I had to add hw.psm.flags="0x100" > into /boot/loader.conf.

Have you anything to suggest? Sorry, not my field. For best results, it is recommended that you not ask two unrelated questions in one post. If no one jumps on this one, try again. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
