While there is a certain learning curve to using Docbook, I think the slides.dtd at least deserve to be examined, as this is the option most in line with the rest of the documentation project. If there are any technical stumbling blocks, I assume there is enough Docbook knowledge within the project to over- come these. > Yeah, I've got a lecture aimed for beginners to unix, an explanation of the > filesystem, as well as step by step howto's for some sysadminning tasks > (adding users, cron jobs etc). > > I've also go stuff on squid, bind8, isc-dhcpd3, and IPFirewall.

Hopefully, the community can donate and extend the presentation(s). By basing it on a common framework, accessible via CVS, it should be rather easy to do. -oddbjørn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
