Personally, I think that as your blogs are considered (albeit
unofficially) one of the best sources of BSD docs on the net that it
would be great if you did.  Neither the ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf nor
the make cleanworld are, as I said, mentioned in UPDATING, and last time
I checked the handbook, I didn't see them mentioned there either. 

Sorry if I sounded grouchy---I had spent 45 minutes googling for
something stupid that should have been in another doc (imho) and so was 
looking for a place to vent.   :)

Anyway, yes, I think that these two things should get mentioned,
especially because, as I said, your blogs are considered one of the more
important references outside of the official docs.  

Thanks, as always.
