That's beside the point. Depending on where you learn about DJGPP and
where you download it from, it's possible to get it installed and to
some extent working without ever being aware there _is_ a faq.
I learned about the faq only after asking my first Stupid Question in
this newsgroup. :-( Granted, I would have known if I'd read a few more
other folks' posts before posting my own. But the experience obviously
isn't uncommon.
So I agree -- it would be greatly beneficial to newbies if the faq (I'd
vote for a plain DOS text version) were bundled with some essential file
you can't compile without.
