It's also a pity the the faq are not available in a single html or pdf
format. This would be handy for those who, like me, are studying for
the BSD Specialist certification. Having a single document makes it
easier to search for a specific command.
There's a one-page text file on the ftp server but this is quite old
(it doesn't even mention doas).
