Please, take the time to look for it, and don't expect _me_ taking the
time for you!  I'm already spending lots of hours answering questions,
and i'm pretty sure there will be a FAQ somewhere.  At the very least,
you will find the FAQ sources in the source tree for FreeBSD-current,
under src/share/FAQ/.  But i think they will also be found somewhere
under the various FreeBSD distribution trees (2.0R, 2.0.5{ALPHA,BETA},
2.0-current).  I don't use ftp.cdrom.com every day to be able praying
all the file locations out of my mind, sorry.

But i think the least i could expect from you is to do at least a
small amount of searching of your own.  If you hate ftp, use WWW.

If you've got comments about the ftp server itself, please direct them
to the administrator as shown in the login banner -- this will be more
helpful than here.  It's not in my power to reorganize wcarchive.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
