See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/ . Your suggestion to include things like dmidecode is a good one, and we should add those. > I still was (or at least felt) that was a FreeBSD newbie that time, > so I did not knew if my 'handbook part' was just rubbish, or stupid, > or ... whatever, no one responded, so I assumed that its not > needed/useless and moved along. I'm hoping that the forums are a better place for new users to ask questions these days, than the high-volume mailing lists. In theory it should be a more appropriate venue. (Having said that, I don't participate in the forums due to lack of time, but I understand there is a community of moderators and seasoned users on it.) > It would be also good to have a wiki.freebsd.org page describing > what is needed and in what format a user should send the > documentation changes Perhaps there should be a docs analogue to the following: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/ doc folks, any takers? > I have now filled these PR's here: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164431 > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164432 Thanks.

There are some good, concrete, suggestions here. If I've given the impression in my earlier response that I'm not, I'm sorry. OTOH I see a lot of non-constructive criticism go by and you'll have to excuse me for being rude to those posters. After the Nth posting like that it's simply too much for my patience. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
