Kris, I don't think putting anything more than a pointer to
books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html in the FAQ would be
sensible, and I'm not sure that would be more than just needless
bloat either. It's hard to find "your" question in the FAQ by visual
scanning already.
FAQs are piles of documentation snippets nobody bothered to
streamline into proper documentation, which in the case of FreeBSD
is the books and articles. Please find a place for this in
books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html.
