Right, we have go-ahead from Addison-Wesley to incorporate the chapter into our www distro, provided that mirrors do not mess with the blurb that describes that the text is "excerpted with permission". Also, this is with the understanding that the www distro is _not_ distributed on CDROM. The original idea of incorporating this into the Handbook is obviously not appropriate, since the handbook is dsitrbuted on CDROM. Addison-Wesley would like a list of our .freebsd.org www mirrors. Where can I find such a thing? :-) I have the troff sources for the chapter from Kirk, and am busy familiarizing myself with DocBook so that I can transcribe the text into the sgml form that we'll need it in.
