I think we might see a book out of O'Reilly from Nate > Patwardhan in the near future. I mentioned it to him at the Open Source Convention last June in San Jose. I suggested that he take "Unix in a Nutshell" for SunOS and start there. Of all the nutshell books they have done that would be the closest. He said they he would look into it. I suspect he said that to shut me up. Someone else could do a nutshell book for FreeBSD. Same format but they could no use the name. How about "The Geek Desk Reference" ;-) Josef -- Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 3.0 jgrosch@MooseRiver.com | Micro$oft free world | UNIX for the masses To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
