I didn't realize that something like that would be in a man page.Having useful man pages is another difference between Linux and NetBSD...
That may be true, but I don't think that this thread is an example. After the first reply in this thread I checked and confirmed that my Linux also documents at least devices in the man pages. I can do "man sd" and find out that this is for SCSI disks.
It just had never occurred to me to type "man sd" before. Daniel. -- I'm not overweight, I'm undertall.
