There's is a "HOWTO" section on the FreeBSD web site, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of entries. Explicit instructions wind up in either the Handbook or the FAQ, depending on the length of the instructions. If you've written a HOWTO, then submit it with the send-pr command. The best form to submit it in is as a diff between existing documentation and a version with your HOWTO, which means you've changed the source to the documentation. New text marked up properly is second best. If you can't deal with the markup (and anyone who can deal with HTML should be able to deal with the markup), submit plain text. That will require a committer to find the time to mark it up, so it will sit in the queue longer. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
