Especially fun will be cutting and pasting sections II.a and b. Here you go, Zareena, all you need to do is divide this list about 30/70 into points IIa and IIb, I'm sure your teacher's won't know the difference which goes where: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/master-index.html What's sad IMHO is that IT Colleges world-wide, not in the OP's country, have gotten so pirate, that they don't really teach computing, but rather create "users".... maybe analogous to Agricultural schools which teach the techniques and legal aspects of cross-pollination for planting with Monsanto seeds. Anyway, the fact that the teacher assigned this student FreeBSD at least is a sign of hope ;-) but on the other hand it's no wonder why the largest IT companies in the world were formed by University drop-outs... The curriculum is probably OK, for example as you said, if this assignment would be taken seriously.... but you can clearly see the attitude of students which is probably an x-ray into his college. Then again, I think the FBSD Handbook is even more complete than this homework assignment. Cheers! -- Alejandro Imass > -- > Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] >
