Docs,

	I've written up a guide for installing a FreeBSD 4 system 
with a variety of useful ports, and specific suggested tweaks. I 
think it might be a useful article for recent converts, or helpful 
external reference for folks bringing up their own services on 
FreeBSD and looking for tips.

	What do y'all think? I've run through it a few times, and 
everything seems to work, except localhost access for /server-status 
& /server-info (I assume IPv4 only, and 4.9 seems to ship with IPv6 
on by default). Also, I'll probably abstract out most of the 'vi' 
instructions into a pre- step, and tell users to save their 
customizations for later rebuilds, but that's a detail.

	Does this look worthwhile to anyone?


						Thanks,

PS-"Upgrade Source, Kernel & World" provides an 'express' recipe for 
upgrading a whole system after initial install. My original goal was 
to prepare everything so "portupgrade -a" was likely to work 
properly...
