That way, when you find an error, correct it, do a cvs diff -u, send it to us, and make things better. :) However, to each their own. That's why I spin the PDFs. It's a pain, that's why I spin 'em rarely. :) Nick.

hi all thx for help
but it's litle mistake from this command, it must be
ftp http://openbsd.org/faq/faq${i}.html
Use http://www.openbsd.org/ or a mirror, please.
This thread got a bit silly long so I didn't read all of it, but
didn't anyone suggest using anoncvs to pull the www repository?
It's a good way to get a copy for offline reading and you can
update it easily.
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html, use www instead of src.

Wouldn't it be simpler to be done in one loop?

ftp http://openbsd.org/faq/index.html
But I'm just thinking about tools like wget or curl?! Though they are
AFAIK not in the base-system.
BTW: Cc-ing to the list messes up some MUAs reply-to-list functionality.
Thank you for not doing this anymore.

The number list could be collapsed into `seq 1 15` on a system with seq

Re: OpenBSD 4.3 FAQ in PDF?
Wouldn't it be simpler to be done in one loop? Oh, yes it would. I was thinking about fixed width fields. I have so many nightmares about them and shell scripts since I don't know how to deal with them there that I didn't notice the FAQ isn't numbered with them. Tell me about it. ;-) But I'm just thinking about tools like wget or curl?! Though they are AFAIK not in the base-system. yeah, I had wget there at first until I remembered. :) BTW: Cc-ing to the list messes up some MUAs reply-to-list functionality. Thank you for not doing this anymore. Or: Thank you for fixing your buggy mailer. Sorry for that, someone was stepping on my nerves before and I must have projected it on to you. You know how that sometimes is. BTW: I fixed that mailer now. --Julian -- Fortune of the hour: You teach best what you most need to learn.

It's faq1.html to faq15.html The number list could be collapsed into `seq 1 15` on a system with seq installed. Wright. But if we had something installed. We could have used wget. --Julian -- Fortune of the hour: You teach best what you most need to learn.
