>Description:

<bikeshed color="puce">

We have two references in the Handbook to the FreeBSD Mall.  Since
Wind River has stopped supporting FreeBSD, this seems a bit out of
place.  I would suggest that either replace those links with links to
another vendor, or just have no link and tell people to search for a
supplier.

I'm providing patches for the former, rather than the latter, as I
think links are a) kinder to the end user, and b) the Daemon News
folks are actually interested in contributing back to the community.
I don't care which is done, I would just like to suggest that either
is more appropriate than what we're doing now.

</bikeshed>

>How-To-Repeat:

This is my first stab at including two patches in a single file, so it
might very well not behave well.  Seems to work for me, on my badly
mutilated -doc tree.  :)

>Audit-Trail:
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed 
State-Changed-By: murray 
State-Changed-When: Wed Nov 14 06:52:14 PST 2001 
State-Changed-Why:  
Wind River Systems is leaving the FreeBSD business, but the 
FreeBSDMall will continue under the stewardship of a new company. 
FreeBSDMall has been around since the Walnut Creek CDROM days and just 
because WRS is getting out of the business, doesn't mean that the Mall 
is shutting down. 

FreeBSDMall has brought FreeBSD into many new markets and has 
donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the FreeBSD Project. 
FreeBSDMall sells more copies of FreeBSD than any other organization, 
and in the last several weeks new products have been added to 
freebsdmall.com.   

I don't think that it is appropriate to remove this link. 

Thanks.
