But I am sure anything that gets slated to the handbook will be translated to docbook anyhow. Ironically, I was also working on a little howto when this came in. I had a couple q's for Ralf that I posted privately since I didn't want to bother the geom dev heads with, but one area I think merits further elaboration prior to publicaton in the handbook is the inconsistencies between labels created via sysinstall gui and bsdlabel from the command line. They threw me for a bit (until I figured out that they were inconsistent) and I am an experienced sysadmin. A relative newbie to FBSD could easily become confused with bsdlabel -e. Especially if, like many new users, they've tried it from sysinstall gui first. A picture is worth a thousand words, so an actual bsdlable -e session might be nice. Ciao-- kg
