It IS a wonderful set of information on installation, but, IMNHO (In My Never Humble Opinion ;), far too long. My goal was to produce something short, simple, and reasonably thorough; something that could be read as a distinct piece of documentation in 5 or 10 minutes. The section you have there is very well suited for a section or a chapter of a book, but I'm aiming at a slightly more immediate (and more impatient, probably) need here. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@mortis.futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
