   info in the FAQ.

Duncan,

This sort of problem has led us to write a FreeBSD FAQ, the first
draft of which may be gotten from freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/FAQ

We'll also be shipping it out with the imminent FreeBSD 1.1 release.

I'm sorry to say that this FAQ is targetted at 1.1 onwards, and can
only ask that the 1.0 folks have a little patience and perhaps upgrade
when they're given the chance, which will indeed be very soon.  If I
can figure out a way to merge 1.0.2 information into the 1.1 FAQ
without making it really confusing, I most certainly will, but do
realize that our efforts are most constructively channeled towards
current code.
