Since Wind River has stopped supporting FreeBSD, this seems a bit out of place. I would suggest that either replace those links with links to another vendor, or just have no link and tell people to search for a supplier. I'm providing patches for the former, rather than the latter, as I think links are a) kinder to the end user, and b) the Daemon News folks are actually interested in contributing back to the community. I don't care which is done, I would just like to suggest that either is more appropriate than what we're doing now. >How-To-Repeat: This is my first stab at including two patches in a single file, so it might very well not behave well. Seems to work for me, on my badly mutilated -doc tree. :) >Fix: *** en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.sgml-dist Wed Nov 7 14:03:48 2001 --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.sgml Wed Nov 7 14:18:56 2001 *************** *** 87,95 **** url="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/">FreeBSD FTP server or one of the numerous mirror sites.

FreeBSDMall has been around since the Walnut Creek CDROM days and just because WRS is getting out of the business, doesn't mean that the Mall is shutting down. FreeBSDMall has brought FreeBSD into many new markets and has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the FreeBSD Project. FreeBSDMall sells more copies of FreeBSD than any other organization, and in the last several weeks new products have been added to freebsdmall.com. I don't think that it is appropriate to remove this link. Thanks. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31828 >Unformatted:
