The obvious fix would be the attached patch, which removes CompUSA from the handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml list of boxed product retailers. However, there is a slight problem with it: the remaining text talks about "several retailers", yet lists only one - Fry's :) Is anybody aware of other boxed product retailers? For that matter, can anybody check whether Fry's still offer FreeBSD? From a quick look at their website (and the Outpost redirect), I couldn't find anything by navigating the menus, although an explicit search for 'FreeBSD' brought up the FreeBSD Toolkit, which sounds somewhat similar to the FreeBSD Mall product by the same name, yet leaves me with some doubt as to its up-to-dateness... So.. what should we do about the Retailers section of the Mirrors chapter?
