In the last week or so I have discovered https://archive.freebsd.org/ and now there is https://wiki.freebsd.org/ which I have not ever seen once in five or six years of trying to use FreeBSD. Maybe a link or something can be put on the "About" page? https://www.freebsd.org/about/ Even more crazy is the way in which FreeBSD is changed and/or fixed. There are bug reports of course but it seems everything really happens in a thing called a Phabricator. It really is a great UNIX implementation and runs like a charm as a server but the skills required are all over the place and no where and everywhere and yeah ... thanks to this mail list I can at least keep a few things running. To quote a really cool guy that is an expert at such things "If it breaks you can keep both pieces." -- -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spokenhelp
