I have a few suggestion for the FreeBSD manual based on my experiance. 1) On the section that discusses building your own kernel, it should be emphasized to make a link to your config file and place the original in /root/...! In fact, It should be made the standard way to do things, as I did the very stupid mistake of deleting my src tree when I encountered problems with cvsup. Weeks later I realized that my kernel source along with my config file was also deleted! 2) Also, the part that discusses configuring printers mentions that you can set the printer to interrupt or polled mode from within the kernel, but when I tried it, config complained (syntax error). I initially tried to use lptcontrol by instering the command in the file /etc/rc.local (I think) like suggested but the file doesn't exist. It would be nice to know the best way to choose a printer mode upon startup. Anyway, enough complains. Besides the few quirks (hey, no ones perfect) this manual beats the hell out of many of the others I've read! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
