FAQ than a proper tutorial. But (1) it gets it out of the
plain text format I've been sending out over the past 4
months, (2) it gets it better publicised than it has been,
and (3) it shows anyone that wants to see how to markup a
FAQ than a proper tutorial. But (1) it gets it out of the

enough for most people, and gets it into the repository, making it
easier for others to add to as necessary.
This has not (yet) been turned on in the upper level Makefile or
listed on the web site yet, I want to get some more feedback
from readers first. It should be "made visible" later this week.
to link to it any more, and the version on my website is currently more
up to date. An AltaVista search to see if any one else had linked to it
didn't turn up anything, so I think this is pretty safe. I'll 'cvs remove'
the directory and its files shortly.
The file:/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/README.386BSD is probably false,
but I don't have a checked out tree at hand, and I'd rather would let that
point to some http or ftp source (at least alternatively). Will check later
today.

clean up the build process a wee bit.
The basic change: instead of cheacking out bits and pieces of the
doc tree into the web build tree, check out the doc tree somewhere
else and put in a few symlinks from the web tree to the doc tree.
On catfish (soon to be hub) for example:
/usr/local/www/build/doc/...
/usr/local/www/build/www/...
where
/usr/local/www/build/www/data/handbook -> ../../doc/handbook
You have to manually put in the symlinks at the moment, but it
works better than the evil CVS hackery.
Also, install with -C to help avoid gratuitous cache-busting due to
gratuitous timestamp twiddling.
. Removed references that dangerously dedicated disks won't boot. Several
people on -questions have proved me wrong.
