While I understand that your PR docs/20398 probably requires a patch thta you may not feel confident about producing yourself, this looks like a case of someone needing to produce better text for whole paragraphs in toto. That's something you could probably do yourself, especially since you're probably the person closest to the problem right now. :-) Care to try your hand at contributing some text? :-) > Also, what's all this about 'kgdb' (in terminal type font as if it > is a command to type)?

Things have changed and the documentation doesn't just "catch up" -- someone edits it. :-) If you'd like to help, all you'll need to is to spend some time getting to know the SGML flavour the -doc guys use for the handbook. It sounds to me like you have some valuable contributions just aching to come out. :-) Wanna take a look at the documentation project? http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Ciao, Sheldon.
