Well, it didn't take me more than what ... 1, maybe 2 hours to add the bookmarks, so it's not like it was a big deal. Haven't gotten around to inserting blank pages, so that chapters start on even numbers making them more fit for printing and seperating them with those binder "tabs" for easy indexing, but that can't take more than a few minutes though. What I'm getting at, is that it wouldn't be that big a deal for me to keep it updated (providing it doesn't go through a release every week of course) :-) -- /-Martin Schou To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
