That looks good, indeed!

That would be me.

An SGML article, with most of the text being just an adaptation of the
tinybsd/Documentation wiki page is now online at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/tinybsd-20080310-01/article.sgml

A preformatted version of the article is available in the same directory.
You can read it at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/tinybsd-20080310-01/article.html

Can you please review the article? It would be interesting to know:

- If there are technical errors in what I wrote. My first TinyBSD
build is running as I'm typing this, so I don't really count as
an experienced TinyBSD user.

- If there is something else you would like me to add.

- If there are parts you don't like about the text, sections that
we should rewrite, fix, and so on.

There are also a few parts which I haven't completely converted yet, and
some places where I have questions about MFSROOT images and config file
changes. I'll experiment a bit with the TinyBSD image I'm building now,
but if you can help me fill in the last few sections, it would be nice :)

You can see how I'm considering to organize the remaining sections by
reading the SGML comments in the `article.sgml' file.
