Howdy! This note from Patrick O'Brien was a revelation to me; I'd previously given up on boa for lack of documentation and/or time to figure it out. Bearing that in mind, may I suggest the following patch to the website to make the documentation more easily accessible? It can be applied by saving it into a file (e.g. /tmp/boaweb.patch), cd'g to the top-level directory of the web content directory and typing: patch -up 1 < /tmp/boaweb.patch Now to go see if it was a lack of docs, or just general density on my part. ;] Thanks, Patrick! --j The patch: diff -ru boa.orig/Download.html boa.new/Download.html --- boa.orig/Download.html Mon Oct 1 14:17:06 2001 +++ boa.new/Download.html Mon Oct 1 14:28:52 2001 @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ <p> Boa Constuctor 0.0.5 can be downloaded from SourceForge -<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1909">here</a>.<br> +<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1909">here</a>.
