You've done a terriffic job there - sorry if my oroginal mail soundsd like
i'd want to step on your toed!
What I'd like to see is that most the information in our
htdocs/Documentation (and some other sources[*]) tree goes into this guide
in the one or other form, and that we put it there then.
What about a PostScript/PDF version of your book - assuming that you 're
using DocBook, that's possible, no?
The installation section looks a bit i386-centric. Are there plans to
reserve places for instructions for other archs? Maybe also in some other
sections (network device names in the networking section come to mind...)

present in our tree but in some other BSD's or KAME tree,
