State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: bmah State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 13 14:19:42 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: This is a lot harder than it sounds. The shortest way I can describe the problem is that the Handbook has to cover multiple versions of FreeBSD, each of which is available for multiple architectures. There is no *one* HARDWARE.TXT file that we can point to. While this is a good idea, I don't think it's practical. hardware.txt and hardware.html live on the top-level directory of the CDROMs and are linked from the main www.FreeBSD.org page. They're also viewable in sysinstall (should someone succeed in booting the install media). If someone can't find it from one of those places, I don't know what else we can do for them. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35724 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
