I have the 2nd edition (with the man pages), so I would not be in the market for yet another printed set of man pages. But I will definitely buy the 3rd edition if it comes without the bulk of the man pages, covers at least FreeBSD-3.1, has no more than about 750 pages and is sensibly priced. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
