I have read this and find that this thread conforms to what is described on that page. This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. So, the OP posted a question about normal and/or preferred use of FreeBSD and people responded. Or do you consider this thread to be too technical? Maybe the discussion could fit in Hackers. ////jerry > > Cheers, > Julian > -- > Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com > Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ". > Format: Plain text.
