Description Gary W. Swearingen 2001-08-07 22:50:05 UTC 
The handbook gives what it calls the "best" way to clean ports,
which, when I tried it, took several hours on fast hardware.

The handbook is missing the faster method used by many.
================

Fix: Apply the following PR/patch.  I've changed "best" to "surest"
and added the alternative method and an introductory paragraph.

I got the method off comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and I must admit
to having not tested it

Your patch has been applied (with minor modifications).  Thanks!  That 
chapter could still use some more work if you've got time to help us 
improve it.
