This was prompted by a requested to provide a link to the Porters Handbook from http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html. I had also started working on producing a master index[1] for the docs, which got temporarily abandoned due to a shed-load of other work, and this was in part what I was going to address. Maybe now is the time to do some more work on this. The FDP Primer and the PPP Primer are under books/ in the cvs tree yet are installed under tutorials. Looking at both docs they are sufficiently large and well structured enough to be called handbooks in their own right, like the Porters Handbook. I propose that we rename these docs; The FreeBSD Documentation Handbook (fdp-handbook) and The FreeBSD PPP Handbook (ppp-handbook). Also it would seem appropriate to merge the tutorial on setting up and using a firewall with a PPP connection into the PPP {Primer,Handbook}. Comments/criticisms/suggestions? (flames > /dev/null) [1] There is a current thread bemoaning the lack of an index in the printed version of the handbook. I am referring to a top-level index, i.e. similar to that you find at the front of a printed book, not a word index as found at the back, which would be a "homepage" for all the docs. -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
