Hello,

In this page 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html
some characters don't look like they should :
all the "<" and ">" used in commands for redirection are evaluated and 
they look like "&lt;" and "&gt;" because of the "&" is converted to an 
html one "&#38;" into the html code...

Example from the refrenced page, a command looks like this :

gzip -c -best /sbin/init &gt; /mnt/sbin/init

Not easy to read or copy/paste :)

I run FreeBSD for 5 years at least and use it at office/home for 
different uses : servers (firewall, web, mail) and workstations 
(sometimes diskless). I am very happy with it and I also use NetBSD for 
diskless stations (Sun & SGI).

Regards,

Denis SAGET
