Given all the off-list offers and on-list discussion it's pretty obvious to me that the IGP is sorely needed. I'm going to see to it that the IGP goes through to compile a no-assumptions guide. I've had a very long think about the Handbook and incorporating the IGP with it and come to the conclusion that while parts of the IGP probably could fit very well with the Handbook, rewriting the Handbook is just not what I want to do. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net /\ / __ Our lies are merely the gryph@mindless.com / \/OC/URNE truth of another world ICQ: 29880099 Death is not a kill -9, just a DALnet: anim0s make world and shutdown -r now PGPKey available To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
