Mr. Lucas, I think that you should concider the ramifications of posting that particular how to doc on the web. After all why should the FreeBSD community be bothered by people who are not intelligent enough to make sure that they are posting to the right thread? Do we really care that companies like VMWare have no intention of porting their commercial software to FreeBSD? After all it is fairly easy to add that linux kernel to the BTX loader. I had the audacity to reply to a recent posting on stable in which I stated that the disks which were shipped to me from Walnut Creek were not bootable and that this might be related to the problems with the iso image. Of course I was promptly flamed. One reader even accused me of trying to install the alpha port on my i386 box. I do appreciate your noble efforts to help the people who, like myself are not FreeBSD Guru's and could possibly get frustrated by the OS by pointing them in the right direction instead of flaming them with the famous but obscure "that is for questions" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
