Thanks Darren, but I'd written this myself faster than it took me to write the message. I am still sure, that most users, including writers (and updaters) of the FAQ would profit from this addition. The FAQ is full of this `arch`, `uname` `machine` and whatnot stuff. When you read through the cvs chapters, there is always the explicit OpenBSD_V_n. There is a German proverb that expresses something like 'Why make it simple, when can be done in a complicated way as well ?' If what you propose finds entry into the system, fine. Because me and everyone else will have it readily available for the next system to install, and Copy&Paste a command from http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html or the FAQ; to be used freely, immediately, and in scripts and without the need to additionally obtain or create this simplification.
