The 4.4BSD manual set from O'Reilley & Associates & USENIX is terse, but complete, and almost totally applicable to FreeBSD. Also, check the FAQ and Handbook on http://www.freebsd.org, and the bibliography therein. The Handbook especially is good for getting your system up, running, and in order to use the references available online (man pages and such). -Jason Miller jason@indy.net Powered by FreeBSD.
