I have to chuckle reading this message. I know exactly the frustration you are going through. The freebsd-questions is monitored by some very knowledgable and involved individuals, and they have little patience for dumb questions. I was very glad when freebsd-newbies was started, but alas, newbies isn't for dumb questions either. :-(. IMO, there really needs to be a freebsd-dumbquestions list.
But there is! There is! To subscribe, send a blank message to free...@egroups.com
freebsd-tips is a list for newbies to ask "dumb" questions. Answers come from other newbies on that list, plus any non-newbies who have found the list interesting enough to subscribe and help out.
Personally, I'd prefer my machine's health to be in the hands of the volunteering professionals at freebsd-questions, but not everyone is so fussy. Try it out!
