I submitted a PR w/ patch and it's been "ignored" (there > are no replies to it). The patch looks good too. I haven't had a time to dig into the details of installing 5.3 from floppies, since I only use CD-ROM images these days, but a cursory glance reveals no obvious problems apart from a bit of whitespace weirdness (using space only vs. tabs and spaces for indentation). Some times it may be frustrating to see a perfectly fine diff sit in gnats, but please don't get us wrong. If the patch is good (as it looks in this case) it will eventually find its way into CVS. Some times, sending a "ping" to freebsd-doc will draw attention to a good patch sitting in gnats faster than letting people dig it out of gnats and commit it. You may even send personal messages to people you know who are already committers and seem active in the area. Regarding the PR in question, since the patch seemed fine, I just went ahead and committed it a few moments ago. Thanks for the PR submission :-)))
