I was pretty sure that the ``visual kernel configuartion'' was an
antique, but I didn't have access to a &os; box when I was looking at
it.
You can use the CVSweb service to browser any tree and code:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/
Take src/usr.sbin/sysinstall for instance:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml
By the way, I also noticed that (at least in one chapter) we mix
together using a literal ``FreeBSD'' and ``&os;''; the example I
counted was approx 150 FreeBSD and 50 &os; -- is there a reason to
prefer one to the other? The comment in freebsd.ent points out that
they are very unlikely to be different, but would we really only want
to turn some instances into links?
It's probably not worth the repo-churn to make them consistent, I'm
just curious.
Fine. :)
IMHO, I think all of they should be consolidated in the Entities(ie: &os;).
"Entities are a mechanism for assigning names to chunks of content. As
an SGML parser processes your document, any entities it finds are
replaced by the content of the entity.
This is a good way to have re-usable, easily changeable chunks of
content in your SGML documents. It is also the only way to include one
marked up file inside another using SGML."

Introduce &os;, &os.current;, and &os.stable; entities. The names
should speak for themselves. Using these will significantly improve
consistency through the doc tree. Right now--before most of the
documents use these--there are five or six different spellings of
"FreeBSD-STABLE", even in the same document! &os; was added for
completeness.
