C.1.3 List Charters . . FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send ``how to'' questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Granted, this is somewhat vague, but I don't think your ghostscript question is "about FreeBSD". p.s. if you are going to reply to the list after you've found the answer to your question, include the details of the answer. Don't just say "Never mind, I found the answer". Someone may be looking for the answer to the question. Yes... even if the original post wasn't entirely appropriate to the list (it's too late to change that). It's very annoying to search for the answer to a question, find a thread in archives that matches your problem, then see the thread deadend without the answer.
