Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, considering that you're the first person to report being so thoroughly confused by the current instructions, we have to ask ourselves three important questions first: 1. How to modify them in such a way that makes Dan happy but doesn't confuse the literally tens of thousands of other folks who have managed to understand these instructions with no problem (e.g. for them any change may represent a step backwards, which is obviously to be avoided). 2. How to modify it at all, since it's not clear just what it is about the current instructions which leaves you so confused. By and large, these instructions get good reviews just as they are. 3. Whether or not it would even make sense to try and solve this problem since, at the level of expertise you currently have, the next item of total confusion might be right around the corner, so to speak, and we'd be in for a never ending supply of similar issues. > I don't understand any of your downloading information.
