From db234427308541abc28d398623e83776f3aa0d4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johann Kois Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:14:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update some links to resources for newbies: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 1. Remove the "Download instructions" - The mentioned site is not updated any longer so it's just confusing for newbies. - Most newbies don't download via FTP.  Even if they do, they will normally download the ISO-images, not the different distributions. - www/en/where.sgml already describes how to get FreeBSD and is up-to-date. 2. "The Complete FreeBSD" - This book can be downloaded free of charge since 2006 from http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/. So link to this site. 3. article "new-users". - It has been in the doc-tree for a long time now. So link to it. - The docs at the also mentioned FTP-site are outdated. Recent versions are available from the FreeBSD.org servers (just like the article itself).
