I think it's a good idea. I think we should make some subdivisions like
- General problems
- Kernel
- Device Drivers
- Patches/Replacements
- XFree86/XS3
- FTP sites (there are many great ftp sites with 386bsd software that
  are not listed anywhere)

How about this? Any other suggestions? Who would be willing to make
one of those "partial" FAQs?
I'm sure the 386bsd community will highly appreciate it.
