It took a lot longer than I expected, but the results look much nicer than I had expected, as well.. :-) I will mail my finished document to everyone on this list for review. Simple instructions for viewing SGML: Download the rest of the handbook in SGML source from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/ Insert the chapter that I will be uploading tonight and apply my patches to the table of contents and authors list. Type "sgmlfmt -html handbook.sgml" and wait (and wait)... It will output several hundred small HTML documents, with the main table of contents as "handbook.html", which you can view with Netscape. The 'sgmlfmt' command is included with FreeBSD 2.0.5 and above so you shouldn't need to download it. You can also generate ASCII and several other formats, read the man page for more details... Anyway, I have about two hours of work ahead of me finishing the formatting, and I probably won't get to the sections on soundcard and System V options, but otherwise it's 95% completed and I will post it to this mailing list before midnight Pacific time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
