This IMHO is a really good idea. I'm on a local Linux User's Group list that gets all kinds of questions, from things like "Can somebody help me set up X to work with my Yankee Doodle video card" to "Is there a way to configure PAM to allow logins based on authentication against a [NT] domain id?" I guess I would call the new list -users or some such. Regardless, I think such a list is a great idea; people are all too used to inserting a CD/floppy into the drive, running setup.exe (happens automatically in some cases) and just clicking around until they get something they think might work for them. ct To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
