It will likely be of help to anyone working on documentation, though more as a long term outcome rather than an initial goal. No doubt a resource list of documentation useful to those at that level will evolve naturally through their own recommendations, which is an interesting way to find out what's actually working for them. Its purpose, though, is for newbies themselves. Questions will still be asked here! but some aspects of dealing with problems can be discussed among equals on the newbies list. Let's see how it pans out. We all know what those above need, but we haven't yet heard a great deal directly from those with small enthusiastic voices, and more importantly to me, they haven't either. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
