Yes, I'm doing so (reading README's). First off, none of the questions I raise are covered there. It explains _technically_ what happens, but not _actually_, and how to recover when it fails. It also doesn't tell you anything about filenames.txt, it doesn't explain the CD layout, or explain to a non-unix person what you are talking about. Oh, it's not there? Why not? What DO I do? Second off, since the CD autoboots, very few will actually get to the README's before being launched into the install. Doesn't change the essential point, though. I'm not saying I shouldn't have looked (Doh!) but it is not fair to say "it's in there". The world of Internet users (and CD users) is a lot wider than it used to be, and we need to move to the next level. I've been in the computer business for 15+ years, Jordan. I have a 140+ IQ. It bit me despite that. Let's agree that we need to move it up a few notches, and get to it. --> Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
