Web pages, may I introduce you to CVS. CVS, these are the web pages.
Yes, this is supposed to be a new top level in the repository. For the moment any changes to this area must be cleared by myself or Jordan. Once the kinks are worked out, the policy will probably be relaxed.backups/www@39020

You can (and are encouraged to) mirror the pages with sup.
|
||||
If you are running apache as installed from the ports collection the
|
||||
following should make a copy of www.freebsd.org available from
|
||||
http://yourhost/www.freebsd.org/. Of course, there are possible
|
||||
variations on the method...
|
||||
|
||||
1) The supfile to get the WWW pages:
|
||||
|
||||
www release=current host=freefall.cdrom.com hostbase=/home base=/usr/local/www/data/www.freebsd.org delete old
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2) Add to /usr/local/www/server/conf/access.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
<Directory /usr/local/www/data/www.freebsd.org/data>
|
||||
Options FollowSymLinks Includes
|
||||
XBitHack Full
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
3) Add to /usr/local/www/server/conf/srm.conf
|
||||
|
||||
Alias /www.freebsd.org /usr/local/www/data/www.freebsd.org/data
|
||||
|
||||
4) Create a directory /usr/local/www/counters that is writable by the
|
||||
httpd daemon, then compile pagecount.C and install in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin.

|

<p>The little red fellow that graces many of these pages is
|
||||
the BSD Daemon. In the context of Unix systems, daemons
|
||||
are process that run in the background attending to various
|
||||
tasks without human intervention. In the general sense,
|
||||
daemon is an older form of the word demon. In the <em>Unix
|
||||
System Administration Handbook</em>, Evi Nemeth has this to
|
||||
say about daemons:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>"Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the
|
||||
word ``demon,'' implying some kind of Satanic connection
|
||||
between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious
|
||||
misunderstanding. ``Daemon'' is actually a much older form
|
||||
of ``demon''; daemons have no particular bias towards good
|
||||
or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's
|
||||
character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a
|
||||
``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a
|
||||
``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being
|
||||
helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX
|
||||
systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons."
|
||||
(p403)
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The earliest (and most popular) renditions of the BSD Daemon were
|
||||
created by John Lassiter. More recent FreeBSD-specific
|
||||
renditions have done by
|
||||
<a href="http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html">
|
||||
Tatsumi Hosokawa</a>, but the basic inspiration was definitely John's.
|
||||
|
||||
The copyright holder and creator of the daemon image is
|
||||
<a href="mailto:mckusick@mckusick.com">Marshall Kirk McKusick</a>.
|
||||
A short <a href="http://www.zilker.net/users/beastie/index.html">pictorial
|
||||
history</a> is also available.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, it should also be noted that, despite Kirk's professed aversion
|
||||
to this fact, there is close to unanimous agreement that the daemon's
|
||||
name, should he have one at all, is <strong>Chuck</strong>. Don't ask
|
||||
me how that name was arrived at, it just stuck.

<h2>Goals</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unix has frequently, and rightfully so, been criticized
|
||||
for being difficult to learn. While the tool based
|
||||
approach to a computing system is powerful, users are often
|
||||
stymied by the terse style of the manual pages that
|
||||
describe each tool in detail but rarely provide hints about
|
||||
how, when or why the tool can be used in day to day
|
||||
operations. Many excellent books have been written to show
|
||||
the tools in a context and a number are highly recommended
|
||||
for anyone using FreeBSD. However, since every Unix system
|
||||
has its own quirks, a number of gaps exist in the
|
||||
documentation as a whole.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The mission of the FreeBSD Documentation Project is to
|
||||
fill this documentation gap. Specifically:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>To cover features, procedures, and other quirks that
|
||||
are unique to FreeBSD and thus not to be found in
|
||||
commonly available Unix user, administrator and
|
||||
programmer guides available on the market. The most
|
||||
important of these are:<p></p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Installation<p></p></li>
|
||||
<li>Hardware support and troubleshooting<p></p></li>
|
||||
<li>System configuration and tuning<p></p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To provide documentation covering the most commonly
|
||||
used aspects of FreeBSD, whether or not the topics are
|
||||
covered in other user, administrator and programmer
|
||||
guides. This includes topics such as:<p></p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Network configuration and troubleshooting<p></p></li>
|
||||
<li>ISP services<p></p></li>
|
||||
<li>General system adminstration<p></p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Projects</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To realize the above goals, the Documentation Project is
|
||||
focused on two specific pieces of documentation:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><a href = "FAQ/freebsd-faq.html">The
|
||||
FAQ</a></li>
|
||||
<li><a href = "handbook/handbook.html">The
|
||||
FreeBSD Handbook</a></li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The goal of the <a href =
|
||||
"FAQ/freebsd-faq.html">FAQ</a> is to address in a
|
||||
short question and answer format the most common questions
|
||||
that are asked, or <em>should be</em> asked on the various
|
||||
mailing lists and newsgroups devoted to the discussion of
|
||||
FreeBSD. The format does not permit long winded and
|
||||
comprehensive answers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Topics that need a more in depth discussion than the FAQ
|
||||
can provide are addressed in the <a href =
|
||||
"handbook/handbook.html">FreeBSD Handbook</a>.
|
||||
The current incarnation of the handbook is largely a
|
||||
skeletal framework with many empty chapters and sections
|
||||
waiting to be filled by words of wisdom.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Contributing to the project</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Like the rest of the FreeBSD project, the documentation
|
||||
project depends on the tireless contributions of users. To
|
||||
facilitate the project, a mailing list has been created for
|
||||
the discussion of documentation issues and communication
|
||||
among authors. Anyone wishing to contribute to materials
|
||||
or editorial time should subscribe by sending mail to <a
|
||||
href="mailto:majordomo@freebsd.org">majordomo@freebsd.org</a>
|
||||
with a message body of:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>subscribe freebsd-doc</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(See <a href="handbook/eresources:mail.html">Mailing
|
||||
lists</a> in the handbook for complete information on the
|
||||
FreeBSD mailing lists.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We welcome both corrections and additions to existing
|
||||
documentation as well as submissions of entirely new
|
||||
sections. All documents should reflect the state of
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0.5R unless there is a compelling reason to cover
|
||||
a different release. In such a case, the version to which
|
||||
the information applies must be clearly stated.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Submitting corrections</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When providing corrections or additions to existing
|
||||
documentation, the preferred method is <em>context
|
||||
diff</em> relative to the text as it appears in
|
||||
FreeBSD-current. (see the <code>diff(1)</code> manual page
|
||||
for details on generating a context diff). The
|
||||
FreeBSD-current text for the handbook can be found in:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote><a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/doc/handbook">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/doc/handbook</a></blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>while the FAQ can be found at:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote><a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/doc/FAQ">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/doc/FAQ</a></blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Diffs should be directed to <a
|
||||
href="mailto:doc@freebsd.org">doc@freebsd.org</a> for
|
||||
review.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Submitting new material</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you can claim expertise on some topic of interest to
|
||||
other FreeBSD users and the topic is not covered by either
|
||||
the FAQ or the Handbook, we would love to incorporate your
|
||||
wisdom into one or the other. If you wish to contribute
|
||||
but are not sure what is needed, have a good look through
|
||||
the <a href="handbook/handbook.html">handbook</a> and the
|
||||
<a href="FAQ/freebsd-faq.html">FAQ</a> and see what
|
||||
<em>you</em> think is missing. In particular, the handbook
|
||||
has a fairly complete outline but sections marked with an
|
||||
asterisk (*) are currently empty and waiting for an eager
|
||||
author.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At this time, the preferred format for submitting new
|
||||
materials is SGML conforming to the linuxdoc DTD. The DTD
|
||||
and tools for converting appropriately tagged documents
|
||||
into LaTeX, HTML and ascii text are available in FreeBSD
|
||||
2.1 and -current. See the <code>sgmlfmt(1)</code> manual
|
||||
page for details. Due to shortcomings of the linuxdoc DTD,
|
||||
the project hopes to move to a more flexible DTD such as
|
||||
DocBook in the future. Any changes will be announced on
|
||||
the freebsd-doc <a
|
||||
href="handbook/eresources:mail.html">mailing
|
||||
list</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you do not feel comfortable with SGML, the next best
|
||||
format is LaTeX because it can be converted to SGML with a
|
||||
minimum of hassle. Failing that, plain ASCII submissions
|
||||
are always welcome.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some general editorial guidelines:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Do not use contractions.<p></p></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Provide concrete examples.<p></p></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Use cross references. In the HTML version of the
|
||||
document, these become hypertext links.<p></p></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Do not duplicate other sections of the document, even
|
||||
if they have yet to be written. If you feel the existing
|
||||
section provides insufficient information to support your
|
||||
topic, think about whether the additional information
|
||||
should go in the section you are writing, or if it should
|
||||
be added to the other end of the cross reference.
|
||||
Contact the author of the referenced section if you
|
||||
suspect the latter.<p></p></li>

persist.</li>

error conditions gracefully.</li>

<li>More cosmetic work on the installation, /stand/sysinstall now
|

genuinely useful after installation time (though still missing a man

page - urk!).</li>

<li>Basically, lots-o-fixes. If you're trying to use the 2.2 SNAPs

<ul>
|
||||
<li>The Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet card is now
|
||||
supported.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The 3COM 3C590 and 3C595 ethernet cards are now supported.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The ARNET (now Digiboard) Sync 570i high-speed serial card is
|
||||
now supported.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The Linux emulation is now good enough to run the Linux version
|
||||
of Netscape, with JAVA support (as well as a number of other Linux
|
||||
utilities).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The Matrox Meteor frame grabber card is better supported.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>It is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or HP 4080i
|
||||
CDR drives (see `wormcontrol(1)').</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The pipe code has been substantially sped up, as have some
|
||||
components of the VM system.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>A /dev/random device (and associated "pool of entropy") has
|
||||
been added for applications which require more unpredicatable
|
||||
sequences of random numbers for security. See the random(4)
|
||||
man page for more info.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Early NFS v3 support (not enabled by default).</li>
|
||||
|

<li>An early implementation of the Device Filesystem (devfs)
|

<h2>November 1995</h2>
|

|

<ul>
|

<li><b>19-Nov-1995</b><br>FreeBSD 2.1 is now available at
|
||||
ftp sites all around the world. See the <a

|
||||
href="releases/snapshots.html">Snapshot</a> 2.1.0-951104 is now
|
||||
available. The purpose of this snapshot is:<p></p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>To incorporate changes based on all the feedback
|
||||
and bug reports received for the previous
|
||||
snapshot's installation.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To incorporate the latest XFree86 release (3.1.2-S)
|
||||
with security enhancements. There may be more fairly
|
||||
minor changes here before 2.1 is put on CD, but this
|
||||
is basically what will be shipping.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To get feedback on the new ``Novice Install'' split
|
||||
out of the Express installation (which now truly <em>is</em>
|
||||
an express installation).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To give folks something a little less buggy to load on new
|
||||
systems while they are waiting for 2.1 to come out.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To fold in the latest versions of the FreeBSD
|
||||
Handbook, updated for 2.1.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To correct some slight whiffy english in the online help.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>To go back to the previous approach of just
|
||||
uncommenting the ATAPI and wcd0 entries in GENERIC
|
||||
for building atapi.flp. The idea of commenting out
|
||||
the wd2 and wd3 entries in an effort to make things
|
||||
better seems to have only made them worse in the last
|
||||
SNAP. If this atapi.flp image works for you, great!
|
||||
If not, I'm afraid that it's far too late to do
|
||||
anything about at this stage so any failure reports
|
||||
will be simply filed for post-2.1 analysis. Sorry
|
||||
IDE CDROM hackers, but you had your chance!</li>

<h2>October 1995</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>30-Oct-1995</b><br> The 2.1.0-951026 <a
|
||||
href="releases/snapshots.html">Snapshot</a> has been
|
||||
re-released with several bugfixes:<p></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Atapi boot floppy now assumes it's alone by itself
|
||||
on the second IDE controller - this seems to work a
|
||||
lot better for most folks who were provided with
|
||||
dedicated controllers when they purchased their IDE
|
||||
CDROMS. People with IDE disks on multiple IDE
|
||||
controllers should NOT use this floppy image. Stick
|
||||
with boot.flp and build a custom kernel or something.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The apache WEB server installation makes fewer assumptions about
|
||||
where you'll be putting things.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Installing the secure dist no longer requires that you also
|
||||
install Kerberos in order to get things like telnet to work.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Boot floppy should now support the Adaptec 2940 ULTRA (this was
|
||||
a side-effect more than a bug fix).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>However, there are some outstanding bugs you should know
|
||||
about:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>sysinstall seems to croak in certain situations
|
||||
if you run it after the system is installed.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The FTP retry code still isn't 100% there -
|
||||
apparently it now doesn't handle reselection very
|
||||
well. Sigh. I'm so truly sick of looking at that
|
||||
part of the code that if somebody else wanted to have
|
||||
a look, I wouldn't fight them off! It seems like
|
||||
every time I fix one thing, I break something else.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The media selection screen protects itself from
|
||||
re-entry in some situations when you'd really like it
|
||||
to be allowed. Whoops!</li>
|
||||
<li>Using more than one FreeBSD ``slice'' can cause problems.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||

||||
<li>All /etc/sysconfig information now written correctly.</li>

(installation by config file) now works. It's
|

possible to install everything from start to finish
|
||||
on a new system in a fully-automated fashion (if you
|
||||
install a lot of systems, this is a big help).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>You may now read the HTML Handbook and FAQ
|
||||
documents directly from the boot floppy after
|
||||
installation (as well as visit any other WEB site).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Failure to create a /usr is no longer an error,
|
||||
just a warning.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The matcd driver was shrunk down some more,
|
||||
<em>possibly</em> resulting in a return to 4MB
|
||||
operation (please test this).</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The latest ATAPI CDROM changes were merged in and
|
||||
another atapi.flp boot image generated. Again,

faster? Find out! This is the culmination of over 6
|
||||
months of careful hacking.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lots-o-bug fixes</li>
|
||||
<li>Lots-o-bugs (probably)</li>
|

<li>Fixes to floppy driver - may fix some of the reported
|
||||
problems.</li>

<li>A number of new syscons features - software settable cursor,
|
||||
more modes for LCD displays, dynamic console allocation, woo
|
||||
doggies.</li>
|
||||
<li>Still no kernel srcdist, just one big srcdist still.
|
||||
Sorry.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lots of changes to the installation - hopefully this one even
|
||||
mostly works for once.</li>
|
||||
<li>A billion other things I've forgotten for now but will

<p>The FreeBSD Ports Collection offers a simple way for users and
|
||||
administrators to install applications. Each ``port'' listed here
|
||||
contains any patches necessary to make the original application source
|
||||
code compile and run on FreeBSD. Installing an application is as
|
||||
simple as downloading the port, unpacking it and typing <tt>make</tt>
|
||||
in the port directory. The <tt>Makefile</tt> automatically fetches the
|
||||
application source code, either from a local disk or via ftp,
|
||||
unpacks it on your system, applies the patches, and compiles. If
|
||||
all goes well, simply type <tt>make install</tt> to install the
|
||||
application.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Below are the listings of ports currently available, arranged
|
||||
by application type. Four links are available for each port listed:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt><b>Description</b></dt><dd>This fetches a description
|
||||
of the application from the FTP archive (ftp.freebsd.org).</dd>
|
||||
|
||||
<dt><b>Browse</b></dt><dd>This is a link to the FTP archive directory
|
||||
for the port where you can examine the Makefile and patches.</dd>
|

|

<dt><b>Download</b></dt><dd>This is a link to a gzip'd tar file
|

containing the port. Be sure to tell your browser to <em>save</em>
|
||||
rather than <em>display</em>!</dd>

FreeBSD 1.1.5
|
||||
Contributor List
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Derived Software Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
This software was originally derived from William F. Jolitz's 386BSD
|
||||
release 0.1, though very little of the original 386BSD specific code
|
||||
remains.
|
||||
|
||||
Please see the file CONTRIB.386BSD for the list of contributors from
|
||||
386BSD.
|
||||
|
||||
Included in this release are some of the patches from the old 386BSD
|
||||
patch kit version 0.2.4, and therefore the names of contributors from the
|
||||
patch kit are also listed below.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, there are portions of NetBSD that have been integrated into
|
||||
FreeBSD as well, and we would therefore like to thank all the contributors
|
||||
to NetBSD for their work.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
A special thanks to Robert Bruce and Jack Velte of Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
for providing a 486/DX2-66 EISA/VL system that is being used for the
|
||||
development work. It would have been impossible to do this release
|
||||
with out their support.
|
||||
|
||||
Dermot McDonnell for his donation of a Toshiba XM3401B CDROM
|
||||
drive.

This file lists known problems with this release of FreeBSD
|
||||
|
||||
'hanging keyboard'
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
There are still problems with certain machines appearing to 'hang' on
|
||||
bootup even though a prompt is there. The most common machines that
|
||||
exhibit these problems are Gateway 2000 machines with PHOENIX bios's but
|
||||
other machines with PHOENIX bios also exhibit this behavior.
|
||||
The temporary solution until you can get the distribution
|
||||
installed on your hard-drive is to 'bounce' on a key like shift or
|
||||
num-lock (which works well since you can see when the keyboard comes
|
||||
back to life) until the boot sequence is finished. The keyboard will
|
||||
work fine for installing FreeBSD onto the hard-drive.
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/bin/gdb:
|
||||
The gdb in the release will not work on shared objects nor will it
|
||||
work with C++ executables. Please use the gdb in the ports area for
|
||||
debugging shared and/or C++ code. This is just a work-around until
|
||||
we can transition to the new version of gdb completely. See below.
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/gnu/bin/gdb:
|
||||
This is the gdb from the ports area (if installed), also known as
|
||||
gdb-4.11. There is a problem using gdb-4.11 to debug a core-file
|
||||
generated by a binary which uses shared libraries. The problem is
|
||||
basically due to the fact that the shared libraries are mmap'ed at
|
||||
addresses in the memory space of the binary which are not accessible
|
||||
to gdb-4.11 at the time that it tries to examine the core-file. This
|
||||
usually manifests itself in "Cannot access memory at address <foo>"
|
||||
messages at startup and "#0 <bar> in end ()" when you try to do
|
||||
a backtrace ("bt").
|
||||
|
||||
Workaround: start gdb-4.11 without reference to the core-file,
|
||||
e.g. "gdb fubar". Set a breakpoint in main and run the inferior
|
||||
so that gdb-4.11 can resolve references to the shared libraries.
|
||||
After this, use the "core-file" command to force gdb-4.11 to
|
||||
load the core-file, e.g. "core-file fubar.core". Since all
|
||||
shared library references were previously resolved gdb-4.11 can
|
||||
now access the shared libraries and things like "bt" now work.
|
||||
You will also be able to reference items previously on the stack
|
||||
(from the core file), but all globals will show up as zero'd.
|
||||
All these problems may be avoided if you compile the application
|
||||
with -static.
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c
|
||||
The 3c509 driver will hang under heavy network loads and take your
|
||||
machine off the network. (Though the machine will continue to run with
|
||||
no network facilities)
|
||||
|
||||
Workaround: Try a "ifconfig ep0 down" and a "ifconfig ep0 up"
|
||||
to get it running again.
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/i386/isa/bt742a.c
|
||||
The Bt445S and Bt747 controllers can cause problems when ISA DMA
|
||||
is selected as an option. With the EISA controller the remedy is
|
||||
easy - simply turn it off using your EISA configuration utility.
|
||||
With the Bt445S, which is a VLB card, you must switch the undocumented
|
||||
"SW10" on "SB2" to the off position. Also note that certain revisions
|
||||
of the Buslogic board (Revision C or earlier, firmware revision <3.37)
|
||||
will cause DATA CORRUPTION with systems containing more than 16MB of
|
||||
memory. If you find this to be the case, temporarily remove your
|
||||
extra memory and contact Buslogic for an upgrade!
|
||||
|
||||
fsck:
|
||||
fsck can go into an endless loop in the repair/fsck cycle on
|
||||
a corrupted filesystem. The message "VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK
|
||||
DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE" is very misleading.
|
||||
fsck compares the superblock with the alternate in the last
|
||||
cylinder group? So if this block is corrupt, you have no chance
|
||||
to get the filesystem repaired. You can answer on the question
|
||||
"UPDATE STANDARD SUPERBLOCK" with yes and get always the same
|
||||
error message on the next fsck.

In the absence of any other mechanism for counting the number of users
|
||||
of FreeBSD, we like to as kindly suggest that you take a few minutes
|
||||
to please register with the counter set up by
|
||||
<Harald.T.Alvestrand@uninett.no>.
|
||||
|
||||
The justification for such "registration" is twofold: First, we sincerely do
|
||||
wish to know just what the size and demographics of our user-base are
|
||||
in order to better support its needs. Second, it's a sad fact that many
|
||||
people rely on counters and statistics (even when highly dubious) rather
|
||||
than actual experience when chosing an operating system, and the best we
|
||||
can hope to do in such circumstances is to at least try to provide some
|
||||
indication of how popular we are (or are not). This is not how we recommend
|
||||
that people go about chosing an operating system, but the necessity of
|
||||
"marketing" remains an undeniable fact of life.
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeBSD team does not necessarily feel that Harald's counter represents
|
||||
the best approach to such statistics gathering, and its accuracy will only
|
||||
be as good as people's willingness to register with it (which may not reflect
|
||||
the actual OS population at any single point in time), but in the total absence
|
||||
of any other mechanism for providing such useful statistics, it's certainly a
|
||||
start and we thank Harald for his efforts in providing this service.
|
||||
It's a community service, and of potential benefit to everyone (all *BSD
|
||||
users), so let's see if we can't make it work!
|
||||
|
||||
Included below is the standard blurb from the counter.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks in advance,
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeBSD team.

How to get registered
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
In brief:
|
||||
|
||||
[To register a running installation of FreeBSD]
|
||||
Send E-mail to bsd-counter@uninett.no with the SUBJECT line
|
||||
|
||||
"I use FreeBSD at <place>"
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
The intention of this counting project is to count all users of UNIXes
|
||||
that are:
|
||||
|
||||
- BSD-derived
|
||||
- Freely available
|
||||
|
||||
The variants NetBSD, 386BSD and FreeBSD are currently distinguished.
|
||||
|
||||
(NOTE: Linux is NOT BSD-derived. If you use that, send mail to
|
||||
linux-counter@uninett.no instead!!!)
|
||||
|
||||
The information is *not* used for any purpose but statistics, and unless
|
||||
you request it, information about single persons are *never* made public.
|
||||
(A list of users who have requested publication is available from the
|
||||
FTP file ftp://aun.uninett.no/pub/misc/386bsd/persons)
|
||||
|
||||
How to register
|
||||
===============
|
||||
Send E-mail to bsd-counter@uninett.no
|
||||
|
||||
The subject should be
|
||||
|
||||
I use FreeBSD|NetBSD|386BSD at <place>
|
||||
|
||||
Where FreeBSD, NetBSD or 386BSD is the particular variant you're using
|
||||
and "place" can be school, work or home, or a combination of these.
|
||||
|
||||
You will get back a letter with 3 things:
|
||||
|
||||
- An acknowledgement
|
||||
- A form that you can fill out and send in with more information
|
||||
about yourself, your machine, and your 386bsd-using friends
|
||||
- A report giving the current status of the counter
|
||||
|
||||
You can update your "vote" at any time, by sending an E-mail message
|
||||
from the same account. Duplicates will be weeded out.
|
||||
|
||||
The current report, available by anonymous FTP to aun.uninett.no,
|
||||
directory pub/misc/386bsd-counter, file "short", is given below.
|
||||
|
||||
For all questions, contact Harald.T.Alvestrand@uninett.no!

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 1.1.5
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.3 (+4.4 enhancements) BSD
|
||||
release for Intel i386/i486 (or compatable) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
on Bill Jolitz's 386BSD 0.1, with additions from "the patchkit",
|
||||
NetBSD, CSRG, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0, many hundreds of bugs have been
|
||||
fixed, features added, and the overall quality of the system improved
|
||||
almost imeasurably. FreeBSD 1.1.5 represents the culmination of almost
|
||||
18 months of work and many thousands of man hours put in by our all-volunteer
|
||||
working group. We hope you enjoy it!
|
||||
|
||||
Many packages have also been upgraded or added, such as XFree86 2.1,
|
||||
xview 3.2, elm, nntp, mh, InterViews and dozens of other miscellaneous
|
||||
utilities have been ported and are now available as add-ons. See the next
|
||||
section of this document for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
For a list of contributors, please see the files "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" and
|
||||
"CONTRIB.386BSD", which should be bundled with your distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Also see the new "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
|
||||
with the "Free BSD user counter". We've also provided a list of who's
|
||||
responsible for what (so that you may query them directly) in the
|
||||
"ROSTER.FreeBSD" file; use of this file is encouraged to ensure faster
|
||||
resolution of an problems you may have!
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxilliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the U.S.)
|
||||
exportable European distribution of DES for our non U.S. users also exists
|
||||
and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, EISA and PCI bus based
|
||||
PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the 386sx is
|
||||
not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive configurations,
|
||||
various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Following is a list of all currently known disk controllers and
|
||||
ethernet cards known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may
|
||||
very well work, and we have simply not received any indication of
|
||||
this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controller (as long as you have less than
|
||||
16MB of main memory).
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
|
||||
Buslogic 545S.
|
||||
Buslogic 445S VLB SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 742A and 747.
|
||||
Buslogic 942A PCI
|
||||
|
||||
Please see special notes in /usr/src/KNOWNBUGS (filed under bt742a.c) for
|
||||
details concerning possible buggy firmware and undocumented switch settings
|
||||
that may be necessary for proper operation of your Bt445S controller.
|
||||
|
||||
DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Ultra Store 14F and 34F.
|
||||
|
||||
Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
|
||||
SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
|
||||
DAT) and CD ROM drives. Note: This and the mcd driver (Mitsumi CDROM
|
||||
interface card) is the only way a CD ROM drive may be currently
|
||||
attached to a FreeBSD system; we do not support SoundBlaster CDROM
|
||||
interface, or other "mini SCSI" adapters.
|
||||
|
||||
Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of memory,
|
||||
due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space of 24 bits.
|
||||
If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it impossible to do
|
||||
direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is even true of some
|
||||
EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when they're configured to
|
||||
emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all* respects. This problem
|
||||
is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which do not use DMA), true EISA
|
||||
controllers (like the UltraStor or Adaptec 1742A) and most VLB (local bus)
|
||||
controllers. In the cases where it's necessary, the system will use
|
||||
"bounce buffers" to to talk to the controller so that you can still use
|
||||
more than 16Mb of memory without difficulty.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
|
||||
WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
|
||||
based clones.
|
||||
|
||||
Isolan AT 4141-0 (16 bit)
|
||||
|
||||
Isolink 4110 (8 bit)
|
||||
|
||||
Novell NE1000, NE2000, and NE2100 ethernet interface.
|
||||
|
||||
3Com 3C503 Etherlink II
|
||||
|
||||
3Com 3C509 Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
Toshiba ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite Ultra
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.3. Misc
|
||||
|
||||
AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
ARNET 8 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
BOCA ATIO66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
STB 4 port card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
Mitsumi (all models) CDROM interface and drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Adlib, Soundblaster, Soundblaster Pro, ProAudioSpectrum, Gravis UltraSound
|
||||
and Roland MPU-401 sound cards.
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but
|
||||
support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted
|
||||
as the situation develops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Obtaining FreeBSD.
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`freebsd.cdrom.com' - the offical FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site
|
||||
to you netwise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files from freebsd.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
|
||||
through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
|
||||
resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 1.1 may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||
Concord CA 94520
|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com. There current catalog can
|
||||
be obtained via ftp as ftp.cdrom.com:/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost is $39.95. Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada,
|
||||
or Mexico and $10.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, American
|
||||
Express, and ship COD to the United States. California residents please
|
||||
add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Walnut Creek CDROM does NOT provide technical support for FreeBSD,
|
||||
you need to contact the FreeBSD team for that. Please see section 4 for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It should be noted, lest you get the wrong impression that "FreeBSD"
|
||||
is anything but, that almost no one in the "core team" makes money
|
||||
from distributions or anything else connected with FreeBSD. We simply
|
||||
provide this information as a public service for those wishing to get
|
||||
their releases from somewhere other than the net (and the easier it
|
||||
is for you to obtain our software, the happier we are).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The prefered method to submit bug reports from a machine with internet
|
||||
mail connectivity is to use the sendbug command. Bug reports will be
|
||||
dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can be sure
|
||||
that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as
|
||||
possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the sendbug command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-bugs@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
|
||||
to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves! To contact us
|
||||
on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
|
||||
traffic, if you've got slow or expensive mail access and you're
|
||||
only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
|
||||
find it preferable to subscribe to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-announce@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All but the FreeBSD-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing to
|
||||
do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@freefall.cdrom.com and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc.
|
||||

||||

||||
5. Acknowledgements

This file attempts to document just who is `responsible' for what in
|
||||
the FreeBSD world. Since we're an all-volunteer group, the whole
|
||||
concept of `responsibility' must, of course, be taken with a grain of
|
||||
salt since the folks here may not always have time to deal with your
|
||||
problem right away. With that in mind, you are encouraged to contact
|
||||
these folks directly when your problem or suggestion clearly falls
|
||||
into their area of responsibility. If your queries don't net any
|
||||
positive results in, say, 48 hours, THEN you should try and contact
|
||||
the group at large. In most cases, however, using these folks as
|
||||
first-contacts will both cut down on our mail-overload and give you
|
||||
faster service.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you!

|

it, assuming that you've actually got some confidence that you or
|

someone else will be able to actually get to whatever it is (or it's

so critical that you don't think 1.1.5 could/should be released

without it).
|

Also, please bear in mind the following milestones we have to hit:
|

|

June 5th Feature Freeze (bug fixes and cleanup work only).
|

June 16th Code Freeze
|

June 20th Roll binaries - begin initial testing

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 1.1
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.3 (+4.4 enhancements) BSD
|
||||
release for Intel i386/i486 (or compatable) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
heavily on Bill Jolitz's 386BSD 0.1, with additions from "the patchkit",
|
||||
NetBSD, CSRG, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Many hundreds of bugs from the 386BSD 0.1 distribution were fixed,
|
||||
and many out-of-date pieces of software were upgraded to their current
|
||||
releases in the GAMMA distribution. This 1.1 distribution fixes
|
||||
many of the first-run problems our BETA and GAMMA users reported back
|
||||
to us.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, many packages such as XFree86 2.1, xview 3.2, elm, nntp,
|
||||
mh, InterViews and dozens of other miscellaneous utilities have been ported
|
||||
and are now available as add-ons. See then next section of this document
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
For a list of contributors, please see the files "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" and
|
||||
"CONTRIB.386BSD", which should be bundled with your distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxilliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the U.S.)
|
||||
exportable European distribution of DES for our non U.S. users also exists
|
||||
and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA and EISA bus based
|
||||
PC's, ranging from 386sx to 486 class machines (though the 386sx is
|
||||
not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive configurations,
|
||||
various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Following is a list of all currently known disk controllers and
|
||||
ethernet cards known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may
|
||||
very well work, and we have simply not received any indication of
|
||||
this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controller (as long as you have less than
|
||||
16MB of main memory).
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
|
||||
Buslogic 545S.
|
||||
Buslogic 445S VLB SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 742A and 747.
|
||||
Please see special notes in /usr/src/KNOWNBUGS (filed under bt742a.c) for
|
||||
details concerning possible buggy firmware and undocumented switch settings
|
||||
that may be necessary for proper operation of your controller.
|
||||
|
||||
DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Ultra Store 14F and 34F.
|
||||
|
||||
Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
|
||||
SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
|
||||
DAT) and CD ROM drives. Note: This and the mcd driver (Mitsumi CDROM
|
||||
inteface card) is the only way a CD ROM drive may be currently
|
||||
attached to a FreeBSD system; we do not support SoundBlaster CDROM
|
||||
interface, or other "mini SCSI" adapters.
|
||||
|
||||
Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of memory,
|
||||
due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space of 24 bits.
|
||||
If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it impossible to do
|
||||
direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is even true of some
|
||||
EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when they're configured to
|
||||
emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all* respects. This problem
|
||||
is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which do not use DMA), true EISA
|
||||
controllers (like the UltraStor or Adaptec 1742A) and most VLB (local bus)
|
||||
controllers. In these cases, the system will use "bounce buffers" to
|
||||
to talk to the controller, and is generally the default.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
|
||||
WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
|
||||
based clones.
|
||||
|
||||
Isolan AT 4141-0 (16 bit)
|
||||
|
||||
Isolink 4110 (8 bit)
|
||||
|
||||
Novell NE1000, NE2000, and NE2100 ethernet interface.
|
||||
|
||||
3Com 3C503 Etherlink II
|
||||
|
||||
3Com 3C509 Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
Toshiba ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite Ultra
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.3. Misc
|
||||
|
||||
AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
ARNET 8 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
BOCA ATIO66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
STB 4 port card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
Mitsumi (all models) CDROM interface and drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Adlib, Soundblaster, Soundblaster Pro, ProAudioSpectrum, Gravis UltraSound
|
||||
and Roland MPU-401 sound cards.
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but
|
||||
support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted
|
||||
as they develop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Obtaining FreeBSD.
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`freebsd.cdrom.com' - the offical FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site
|
||||
to you netwise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files from freebsd.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
|
||||
through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
|
||||
resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||
Concord CA 94520
|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com. There current catalog can
|
||||
be obtained via ftp as ftp.cdrom.com:/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost is $39.95. Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada,
|
||||
or Mexico and $10.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, American
|
||||
Express, and ship COD to the United States. California residents please
|
||||
add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Walnut Creek CDROM does NOT provide technical support for FreeBSD,
|
||||
you need to contact the FreeBSD team for that. Please see section 4 for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It should be noted, lest you get the wrong impression that "FreeBSD"
|
||||
is anything but, that almost no one in the "core team" makes money
|
||||
from distributions or anything else connected with FreeBSD. We simply
|
||||
provide this information as a public service for those wishing to get
|
||||
their releases from somewhere other than the net (and the easier it
|
||||
is for you to obtain our software, the happier we are).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The prefered method to submit bug reports from a machine with internet
|
||||
mail connectivity is to use the sendbug command. Bug reports will be
|
||||
dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can be sure
|
||||
that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as
|
||||
possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the sendbug command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-bugs@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
|
||||
to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves! To contact us
|
||||
on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
|
||||
traffic, if you've got slow or expensive mail access and you're
|
||||
only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
|
||||
find it preferable to subscribe to:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD-announce@freefall.cdrom.com
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All but the FreeBSD-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing to
|
||||
do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@freefall.cdrom.com and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc.

<b>Subject:</b> Announcing FreeBSD 2.0.5 ALPHA!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2.0.5A represents a significant improvement over FreeBSD 2.0R and is our
|
||||
release-candidate for 2.0.5R later on this week. We're doing a short ALPHA
|
||||
release in order to shake out any glaring bugs before rolling 2.0.5R and
|
||||
moving on to 2.1R, which is the bigger goal. If you're looking for 2.1R,
|
||||
then THIS ISN'T IT. It's an interim release aimed at people who want
|
||||
something newer and better than 2.0R to run and don't feel like waiting
|
||||
for late July, which is when 2.1R is scheduled to go into BETA test.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That said, I think most people will enjoy 2.0.5 quite a bit, and while
|
||||
it's not up to the "full release quality" we hope to have for 2.1R, it's
|
||||
certainly more stable and generally nicer to use than 2.0R!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2.0.5A is currently available on the following sites:

<p>NOTE: If you're installing directly from ftp you can simply grab the
|
||||
boot.flp image from the floppies directory, write it to a floppy
|
||||
and go from there. There is <em>no need</em> to grab any of the other files;
|
||||
the installation will perform this step automatically!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Please also read the various README and <a href=notes.html>RELNOTES</a> files in the release for
|
||||
more information on 2.0.5 - no sense in repeating it all here if most
|
||||
of you are simply going to download and read it anyway!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I'd like to also extend special thanks to Poul-Henning Kamp & Gary Palmer
|
||||
for exerting an especially large amount of effort this time in helping
|
||||
me get the new installation together. Thanks also to Rod Grimes for
|
||||
playing "source tree pit bull" when I needed him to, thus keeping the
|
||||
number of headaches I had to suffer in pulling in various last-minute
|
||||
changes to an absolute minimum. Thanks, guys! This couldn't have
|
||||
been done without you!

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 2.0.5
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
|
||||
for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
|
||||
enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 some 8 months ago, the performance,
|
||||
feature set, and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically. The
|
||||
largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
|
||||
cache that not only increases performance, but reduces FreeBSD's
|
||||
memory footprint, making a 4MB configuration a more acceptible
|
||||
minimum. Other enhancements include full NIS client and server
|
||||
support, transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
|
||||
subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
|
||||
(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
|
||||
narrow) and many hundreds of bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
We've also taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
|
||||
heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
|
||||
easily understood installation process. Your feedback on this
|
||||
(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
|
||||
software collection with some 270 commonly sought-after programs. The
|
||||
list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
|
||||
editors and almost everything in between. The entire ports collection
|
||||
requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
|
||||
to their original sources. This makes it much easier for us to update
|
||||
ports, and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the older
|
||||
1.0 ports collection. To compile a port, you simply change to the
|
||||
directory of the program you wish to install, type make and let the
|
||||
system do the rest. The full original distribution for each port you
|
||||
build is retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so
|
||||
you need only enough disk space to build the ports you want. Each
|
||||
port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
|
||||
installed with a simple command (pkg_add) by those who do not wish to
|
||||
compile their own ports from source. See the file:
|
||||
/usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ
|
||||
for a more complete description of the ports collection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 nearly two years ago, FreeBSD
|
||||
has changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code
|
||||
base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
|
||||
shadows with the blessing of Novell (the new owners of USL and UNIX). The
|
||||
port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems
|
||||
and enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we
|
||||
have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality
|
||||
operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to
|
||||
come!
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of work and many
|
||||
thousands of man hours put in by an international development team.
|
||||
We hope you enjoy it!
|
||||
|
||||
For a list of contributors and a general project description, please see
|
||||
the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" which should be bundled with your binary
|
||||
distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
|
||||
with the "Free BSD user counter". This counter is for ALL freely
|
||||
available variants of BSD, not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register
|
||||
yourself with it.
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxiliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the
|
||||
U.S.) exportable European distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
|
||||
exists and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
If password security for FreeBSD is all you need, and you have no
|
||||
requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
|
||||
(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
|
||||
FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require! We feel that our
|
||||
default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
|
||||
messy export issues to deal with. If you're outside (or even inside)
|
||||
the U.S., give it a try!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 What's new in 2.0.5?
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following features were added or substantially improved between
|
||||
the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 release. In order to facilitate
|
||||
better communication, the person, or persons, responsible for each
|
||||
enhancement is noted. Any questions regarding the new functionality
|
||||
should be directed to them first.
|
||||
|
||||
KERNEL:
|
||||
|
||||
Merged VM-File Buffer Cache
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
A merged VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall system
|
||||
performance and makes it possible to do a number of more optimal
|
||||
memory allocation strategies that were not possible before.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) and
|
||||
John Dyson (dyson@implode.root.com)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Network PCB hash optimization
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
For systems with a great number of active TCP connections (WEB and ftp
|
||||
servers, for example), this greatly speeds up the lookup time required
|
||||
to match an incoming packet up to its associated connection.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Name cache optimization
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket,
|
||||
which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket. We added
|
||||
the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the
|
||||
management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it.
|
||||

||||
Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
David GreenMan (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Less restrictive swap-spaces
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been
|
||||
removed. Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum
|
||||
number of swap devices configured in the kernel.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hard Wired SCSI Devices
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
Prior to 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of unit numbers
|
||||
to SCSI devices as they were probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to
|
||||
possibly change unit number assignment and prevent filesystems on
|
||||
still functioning disks from mounting. Hard wiring allows static
|
||||
allocation of unit numbers (and hence device names) to scsi devices
|
||||
based on SCSI ID and bus. SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel
|
||||
config file. Samples of the configuration syntax can be found in the
|
||||
scsi(4) man page or the LINT kernel config file.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Slice Support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
FreeBSD now supports a "slice" abstraction which makes it more
|
||||
completely interoperable with other operating system partitions. This
|
||||
support will allow FreeBSD to inhabit DOS extended partitions.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager. The
|
||||
fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes
|
||||
using the install program on the boot.flp or the Ontrack Disk Manager
|
||||
tool under DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bad144 is back and working
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than
|
||||
before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather
|
||||
than absolute on the disk.

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT:
|
||||
|
||||
SCSI and CDROM Devices
|
||||
|
||||
Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CD-ROM driver
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562 and CR-563 drives are now supported
|
||||
when connected to a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible host adapter. Up
|
||||
to four host adapters are supported for a total of 16 CD-ROM drives.
|
||||
The audio functions are supported with the Karoke variable speed
|
||||
playback.

|
||||
Adaptec 2742/2842/2940 SCSI driver
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
The original 274x/284x driver has evolved considerably since the 2.0
|
||||
release. We now offer full support for the 2940 series as well as the
|
||||
Wide models of these cards. The arbitration bug (as well as many
|
||||
others) that caused the driver problems with fast devices has been
|
||||
corrected and there is even experimental tagged queuing support
|
||||
(kernel option "AHC_TAGENABLE"). John Aycock has also released the
|
||||
sequencer code under a "Berkeley style" copyright making the driver
|
||||
entirely clean of the GPL.

1.2 Experimental features
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The unionfs and LFS file systems are known to be severely broken in
|
||||
2.0.5. This is in part due to old bugs that we haven't had time to
|
||||
resolve yet and the need to update these file systems to deal with the
|
||||
new VM system. We hope to address these issues in a later release of
|
||||
FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently SCO
|
||||
UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported). The iBCS2
|
||||
emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we haven't been
|
||||
able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps), but almost
|
||||
all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old INFORMIX-2.10
|
||||
for SCO. Further testing is nessesary to complete this project. There
|
||||
is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and most of the svr4
|
||||
syscall wrappers have been written.

2. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||
also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Following is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards currently
|
||||
known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may very well work, and
|
||||
we have simply not received any indication of this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
WD7000
|
||||
IDE
|
||||
ATA
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
Adaptec 274X/284X/2940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
|
||||
the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||
|
||||
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards
|
||||
as they have no on-board BIOS, which is necessary for mapping
|
||||
the boot device into the system BIOS I/O vectors.
|
||||
They're perfectly usable for external tapes, CDROMs, etc,
|
||||
however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which
|
||||
is generally indicated by some sort of message when the system
|
||||
is first powered up or reset. Check your system/board documentation
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
|
||||
Buslogic 545S & 545c
|
||||
Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller.
|
||||
Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller
|
||||
|
||||
NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller.
|
||||
NCR5380/NCR53400 ("ProAudio Spectrum") SCSI controller.
|
||||
|
||||
DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
|
||||
SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
|
||||
DAT) and CD ROM drives.
|
||||
The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:
|
||||
(cd) SCSI (also includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI)
|
||||
(mcd) Mitsumi proprietary interface
|
||||
(matcd) Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) proprietary interface
|
||||
(scd) Sony proprietary interface
|
||||
|
||||
Note: CD-Drives with IDE interfaces are not supported at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of
|
||||
memory, due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space
|
||||
of 24 bits. If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it
|
||||
impossible to do direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is
|
||||
even true of some EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when
|
||||
they're configured to emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all*
|
||||
respects. This problem is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which
|
||||
do not use DMA), true EISA controllers (like the UltraStor, Adaptec
|
||||
1742A or Adaptec 2742) and most VLB (local bus) controllers. In the
|
||||
cases where it's necessary, the system will use "bounce buffers" to
|
||||
talk to the controller so that you can still use more than 16Mb of
|
||||
memory without difficulty.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
|
||||
WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
|
||||
based clones. SMC Elite Ultra is also supported.
|
||||

FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but
|
||||
support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted
|
||||
as the situation develops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Obtaining FreeBSD.
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the offical FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site
|
||||
to you netwise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files from freebsd.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
|
||||
through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
|
||||
resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0.5 may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||

|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as:
|
||||
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost is $39.95. Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US,
|
||||
Canada, or Mexico and $10.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard,
|
||||
American Express, and ship COD within the United States. California
|
||||
residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||
internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command. Bug reports
|
||||
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||
as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
|
||||
to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves! To contact us
|
||||
on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
|
||||
traffic, if you have slow or expensive mail access and you are
|
||||
only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
|
||||
find it preferable to subscribe to:
|
||||
|
||||
announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
||||
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
||||
and ask about them!

construct the new installation utility. Poul, being a proud new

father, was especially pressed for time yet somehow managed to put in
|
||||
significant amount of effort anyway and this release could not have
|

happened without him. Thank you both!
|

|
||||
Thanks also to everyone else who helped, especially those not

|

<b>Subject:</b> Announcing FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is my usual pleasure (and, to a small degree, relief!
|
||||
:) to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.0.5R - the final
|
||||
release in the 2.0.5 series.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This release provides both what I hope will be an exciting
|
||||
glimpse of some of the new technologies and directions we
|
||||
have planned for 2.1R and a stable and much
|
||||
easier-to-install alternative to 2.0R.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Highlights of this release are:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Multi-lingual documentation files.
|
||||
<li>Completely menu driven installation.
|
||||
<li>More installation media types.
|
||||
<li>Support for a much larger range of PC hardware.
|
||||
<li>Easy mounting of DOS partitions and CD devices
|
||||
mounted automatically.
|
||||
<li>"Canned" installation types for easy installs.
|
||||
<li>Easy post-configuration menu
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And many other new features and bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The ports and packages collection has also been bundled
|
||||
with 2.0.5R to prevent synchronization errors. While this
|
||||
does result in a larger overall distribution, it at least
|
||||
ensures more consistent results when installing ports and
|
||||
packages.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>More information on the release may be found in the
|
||||
RELNOTES and README files, so I'll simply leave you all to
|
||||
see for yourself!
|
||||
|
||||

</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As well as the usual mirrors, once they pick it up.
|
||||
|

|
||||
I will be leaving the country shortly (about 3 hours :) and
|
||||
will try to read my email as often as possible, but for
|
||||
quicker replies please send to the mailing list.
|
||||

<b>Subject:</b> 2.0.5-RELEASE update
|

|
||||
<p>Yes, you have guessed it. As a result of the recent
|
||||
feedback we have had about the origional 2.0.5-RELEASE, we
|
||||
have gone poking and found a couple of bugs on the

with a version of boot.flp which will fix the following
|
||||
problems:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The kernel was too big to boot on 4Mb machines.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>It was possible to specify the filesystem mount points
|
||||
in such a way that the program would mount the filesystem
|
||||
before the parent filesystem was mounted (e.g. it would
|
||||
mount /usr/local and then /usr)
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As the CDROM has not gone to replication yet, this updated
|
||||
floppy image will be appearing on the CDROM.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sorry to all those who had problems with the first boot
|
||||
floppy set - I will personally nail Jordan to his chair and
|
||||
nail the chair to the floor in front of his computer the
|
||||
next time we roll a release!

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 2.0.5
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
|
||||
for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
|
||||
enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 some 8 months ago, the performance,
|
||||
feature set, and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically. The
|
||||
largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
|
||||
cache that not only increases performance, but reduces FreeBSD's
|
||||
memory footprint, making a 4MB configuration a more acceptable
|
||||
minimum. Other enhancements include full NIS client and server
|
||||
support, transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
|
||||
subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
|
||||
(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
|
||||
narrow) and many hundreds of bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
We've also taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
|
||||
heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
|
||||
easily understood installation process. Your feedback on this
|
||||
(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
|
||||
software collection with some 270 commonly sought-after programs. The
|
||||
list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
|
||||
editors and almost everything in between. The entire ports collection
|
||||
requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
|
||||
to their original sources. This makes it much easier for us to update
|
||||
ports, and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the older
|
||||
1.0 ports collection. To compile a port, you simply change to the
|
||||
directory of the program you wish to install, type make and let the
|
||||
system do the rest. The full original distribution for each port you
|
||||
build is retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so
|
||||
you need only enough disk space to build the ports you want. (Almost)
|
||||
every port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
|
||||
installed with a simple command (pkg_add) by those who do not wish to
|
||||
compile their own ports from source. See the file:
|
||||
/usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ
|
||||
for a more complete description of the ports collection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 nearly two years ago, FreeBSD
|
||||
has changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code
|
||||
base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
|
||||
shadows with the blessing of Novell (the new owners of USL and UNIX). The
|
||||
port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems
|
||||
and enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we
|
||||
have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality
|
||||
operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to
|
||||
come!
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of work and many
|
||||
thousands of man hours put in by an international development team.
|
||||
We hope you enjoy it!
|
||||
|
||||
A number of additional documents which you may find very helpful in
|
||||
the process of installing and using FreeBSD may also be found in
|
||||
the "FAQ" directory, either under /usr/share/FAQ on an installed
|
||||
system or at the top level of the CDROM or FTP distribution from
|
||||
where you're reading this file. Please consult FAQ/Text/ROADMAP
|
||||
for a brief description of the resources provided by the FAQ directory.
|
||||
|
||||
For a list of contributors and a general project description, please see
|
||||
the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" which should be bundled with your binary
|
||||
distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
|
||||
with the "Free BSD user counter". This counter is for ALL freely
|
||||
available variants of BSD, not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register
|
||||
yourself with it.
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxiliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the
|
||||
U.S.) exportable European distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
|
||||
exists and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
If password security for FreeBSD is all you need, and you have no
|
||||
requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
|
||||
(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
|
||||
FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require! We feel that our
|
||||
default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
|
||||
messy export issues to deal with. If you're outside (or even inside)
|
||||
the U.S., give it a try!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 What's new in 2.0.5?
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following features were added or substantially improved between
|
||||
the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 release. In order to facilitate
|
||||
better communication, the person, or persons, responsible for each
|
||||
enhancement is noted. Any questions regarding the new functionality
|
||||
should be directed to them first.
|
||||
|
||||
KERNEL:
|
||||
|
||||
Merged VM-File Buffer Cache
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
A merged VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall system
|
||||
performance and makes it possible to do a number of more optimal
|
||||
memory allocation strategies that were not possible before.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) and
|
||||
John Dyson (dyson@implode.root.com)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Network PCB hash optimization
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
For systems with a great number of active TCP connections (WEB and ftp
|
||||
servers, for example), this greatly speeds up the lookup time required
|
||||
to match an incoming packet up to its associated connection.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Name cache optimization
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket,
|
||||
which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket. We added
|
||||
the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the
|
||||
management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it.
|
||||

||||
Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Less restrictive swap-spaces
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been
|
||||
removed. Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum
|
||||
number of swap devices configured in the kernel.
|
||||

||||
Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hard Wired SCSI Devices
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
Prior to 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of unit numbers
|
||||
to SCSI devices as they were probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to
|
||||
possibly change unit number assignment and prevent filesystems on
|
||||
still functioning disks from mounting. Hard wiring allows static
|
||||
allocation of unit numbers (and hence device names) to scsi devices
|
||||
based on SCSI ID and bus. SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel
|
||||
config file. Samples of the configuration syntax can be found in the
|
||||
scsi(4) man page or the LINT kernel config file.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Slice Support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
FreeBSD now supports a "slice" abstraction which makes it more
|
||||
completely interoperable with other operating system partitions. This
|
||||
support will allow FreeBSD to inhabit DOS extended partitions.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager. The
|
||||
fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes
|
||||
using the install program on the boot.flp or the Ontrack Disk Manager
|
||||
tool under DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Owner: Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bad144 is back and working
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than
|
||||
before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather
|
||||
than absolute on the disk.

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT:
|
||||
|
||||
SCSI and CDROM Devices
|
||||
|
||||
Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CD-ROM driver
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562 and CR-563 drives are now supported
|
||||
when connected to a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible host adapter. Up
|
||||
to four host adapters are supported for a total of 16 CD-ROM drives.
|
||||
The audio functions are supported, along with access to the raw (2352 byte)
|
||||
data frames of any compact disc. Audio discs may be played using Karoke
|
||||
variable speed functions.

||||
Adaptec 2742/2842/2940 SCSI driver
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
The original 274x/284x driver has evolved considerably since the 2.0
|
||||
release. We now offer full support for the 2940 series as well as the
|
||||
Wide models of these cards. The arbitration bug (as well as many
|
||||
others) that caused the driver problems with fast devices has been
|
||||
corrected and there is even experimental tagged queuing support
|
||||
(kernel option "AHC_TAGENABLE"). John Aycock has also released the
|
||||
sequencer code under a "Berkeley style" copyright making the driver
|
||||
entirely clean of the GPL.

|
||||
burned into an EPROM. Local swapping is also possible. WD, SMC, 3COM

1.2 Experimental features
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The unionfs and LFS file systems are known to be severely broken in
|
||||
2.0.5. This is in part due to old bugs that we haven't had time to
|
||||
resolve yet and the need to update these file systems to deal with the
|
||||
new VM system. We hope to address these issues in a later release of
|
||||
FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently SCO
|
||||
UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported). The iBCS2
|
||||
emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we haven't been
|
||||
able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps), but almost
|
||||
all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old INFORMIX-2.10
|
||||
for SCO. Further testing is nessesary to complete this project. There
|
||||
is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and most of the svr4
|
||||
syscall wrappers have been written.
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD also implements enough of its Linux compatibility that we
|
||||
can now run Linux DOOM! See the ``xperimnt'' directory (on your local
|
||||
FTP server or CDROM) for full docs on how to set this up.

2. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||
also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Following is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards currently
|
||||
known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may very well work, and
|
||||
we have simply not received any indication of this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
WD7000
|
||||
IDE
|
||||
ATA
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
Adaptec 274X/284X/2940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
|
||||
the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||
|
||||
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
|
||||
on-board BIOS, which is necessary for mapping the boot device into the
|
||||
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
|
||||
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
|
||||
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
|
||||
or reset. Check your system/board documentation for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
|
||||
Buslogic 545S & 545c
|
||||
Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller.
|
||||
Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller
|
||||
|
||||
NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller.
|
||||
NCR5380/NCR53400 ("ProAudio Spectrum") SCSI controller.
|
||||
|
||||
DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
|
||||
SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
|
||||
DAT) and CD ROM drives.
|
||||
|
||||
The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:
|
||||
(cd) SCSI (also includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI)
|
||||
(mcd) Mitsumi proprietary interface
|
||||
(matcd) Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) proprietary interface
|
||||
(scd) Sony proprietary interface
|
||||
|
||||
Note: CD-Drives with IDE interfaces are not supported at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of
|
||||
memory, due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space
|
||||
of 24 bits. If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it
|
||||
impossible to do direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is
|
||||
even true of some EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when
|
||||
they're configured to emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all*
|
||||
respects. This problem is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which
|
||||
do not use DMA), true EISA controllers (like the UltraStor, Adaptec
|
||||
1742A or Adaptec 2742) and most VLB (local bus) controllers. In the
|
||||
cases where it's necessary, the system will use "bounce buffers" to
|
||||
talk to the controller so that you can still use more than 16Mb of
|
||||
memory without difficulty.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Ethernet cards
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
|
||||
WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
|
||||

||||
support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted
|
||||
as the situation develops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site
|
||||
to you netwise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files from ftp.freebsd.org.
|
||||
Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
|
||||
through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
|
||||
resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0.5 may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||
Concord CA 94520
|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as:
|
||||
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost per CD is $39.95, or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription. With
|
||||
a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they
|
||||
are released. Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped
|
||||
and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further obligation.
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM also sells a full line of FreeBSD related merchandise such
|
||||
as T-shirts ($14.95, available in "child", Large and XL sizes), coffee mugs
|
||||
($9.95), tattoos ($0.25 each) and posters ($3.00).
|
||||
|
||||
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or
|
||||
Mexico and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover,
|
||||
American Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the
|
||||
United States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||
internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command. Bug reports
|
||||
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||
as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
|
||||
to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves! To contact us
|
||||
on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
|
||||
traffic, if you have slow or expensive mail access and you are
|
||||
only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
|
||||
find it preferable to subscribe to:
|
||||
|
||||
announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
||||
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
||||
and ask about them!

Subject: 2.0 RELEASE is now available on ftp.freebsd.org!<br>
|
||||
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 1994 06:35:37 -0800<br>
|
||||
From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freefall.cdrom.com>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The FreeBSD Project team is very pleased to announce their release of
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0; a full 32 bit 4.4 BSD Lite based operating system for
|
||||
Intel PCs (i386, i486 and Pentium class).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 some 18 months ago, FreeBSD has
|
||||
changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code base
|
||||
was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
|
||||
shadows with the blessing of Novell (new owners of USL and UNIX). The
|
||||
port to 4.4 also brought in a host of new features, filesystems and
|
||||
enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we have
|
||||
every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality operating
|
||||
systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to come!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 represents the culmination of almost 2 years of work and
|
||||
many thousands of man hours put in by an international development
|
||||
team. We hope you enjoy it!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 also features an advanced installation that enables one to
|
||||
install from tape, CD, NFS or FTP over SLIP, ethernet or the parallel
|
||||
port, and DOS floppies or hard disk partitions. This is, we feel, our
|
||||
easiest to use installation yet! Many many suggestions from the
|
||||
previous 2.0 ALPHA release were incorporated, and RELEASE is now far
|
||||
less dangerous [we hope :-)]than ALPHA was!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 also supports more friendly co-habitation with other
|
||||
operating systems, allowing you to easily mount DOS filesystems and
|
||||
install a multi-OS boot manager without having to leave the
|
||||
installation utility. All planned installation methods are now also
|
||||
supported. A trouble-shooting guide for those in, well, trouble may
|
||||
also be of help and is featured on the boot floppy.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For more information on what's new with FreeBSD, or what general
|
||||
features it offers, we strongly suggest that you simply download our
|
||||
boot floppy and boot from it. You can easily read the release notes
|
||||
on it using a simple menu, and with no danger to the contents of your
|
||||
hard disk (unless you deliberately chose "proceed with installation",
|
||||
in which case your fate is in your own hands! :-).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
An upgrade path from ALPHA->RELEASE will also be provided shortly for
|
||||
the benefit of those who were kind enough to help us test the early
|
||||
snapshot of 2.0. Watch the announce list for its availability, or
|
||||
simply be impatient and extract the 2.0R bindist over your ALPHA one!
|
||||
:-)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Those wishing to obtain this version of 2.0 on CDROM should contact
|
||||
our sponsors, Walnut Creek CDROM (info@cdrom.com) or any of the other
|
||||
CD vendors who will, no doubt, be doing their own releases.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you're currently running 1.x and are looking for an upgrade path,
|
||||
we're sorry to say that only full installations are supported at this
|
||||
time. Simply back up your password and user files before reinstalling
|
||||
from the 2.0 media, then bring them back. If public demand is high
|
||||
enough, and we can figure out a way of easily doing it, we'll offer
|
||||
something, but it should be understood that the differences between
|
||||
1.x and 2.0 are *large*, and it's not certain that we'll be able to do
|
||||
it at all.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Those unable or unwilling to download the boot floppy may also get the
|
||||
release notes by mail - send mail to <info@FreeBSD.org> for an
|
||||
automated reply. Updated information will also be provided on a more
|
||||
or less continuous basis in our WEB pages:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.freebsd.org
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 RELEASE is or will be available for ftp in the following
|
||||
locations:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Primary ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>U.S-2 ftp://ftp.dataplex.net/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>U.S-3 ftp://kryten.atinc.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>U.S-4 ftp://ref.tfs.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>Taiwan ftp://netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>Australia ftp://ftp.physics.usyd.edu.au/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>France ftp://ftp.ibp.fr/pub/freeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>Finland ftp://nic.funet.fi:/pub/unix/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
<li>Russia ftp://ftp.kiae.su/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(Translated for the non-URL literate: FreeBSD is available for anonymous
|
||||
ftp on ftp.freebsd.org in the pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE directory)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It will also, no doubt, be available on a number of mirror sites as
|
||||
soon as they pick it up. However, ftp.freebsd.org is on a T3 line and
|
||||
supports 300 simultaneous users (it's a FreeBSD machine :-), so it's
|
||||
unlikely that you'll have too much trouble getting it from this site
|
||||
until the mirrors do so.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are directly Internet connected, it is also NOT necessary to
|
||||
load the bindist from this site! Simply download the 2 boot floppies,
|
||||
begin the installation, and select the FTP installation method - it
|
||||
will do the rest for you, transparently.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, we'd like to publically *thank* Walnut Creek CDROM, without
|
||||
whos continuing support and extreme generousity, we'd probably be long
|
||||
gone! They've been of immense help to us.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Thanks must also go to Poul-Henning Kamp, our fearless and long
|
||||
suffering release engineer for 2.0. While all of us have sacrificed
|
||||
much sleep to the cause, he has a new wife but has somehow managed to
|
||||
do so as well! :-)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
And to all of our users (this is probably starting to sound like the
|
||||
academy awards :-), a similar thank you! We couldn't have done it
|
||||
without your constant flow of commentary, patches, donations of code
|
||||
and moral support. As corny as it sounds, we do it all for you folks!
|
||||
[Though the ego gratification is nice too :-)]
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Thanks to all, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this release!
|

FreeBSD 2.0
|
||||
Contributor List
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Derived Software Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
This software was originally derived from William F. Jolitz's 386BSD
|
||||
release 0.1, though almost none of the original 386BSD specific code
|
||||
remains. This software has been essentially reimplemented on top of
|
||||
4.4 BSD Lite, from the Computer Science Research Group (CSRG) at
|
||||
the University of California, Berkeley and associated academic
|
||||
contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also portions of NetBSD that have been integrated into FreeBSD
|
||||
as well, and we would therefore like to thank all the contributors
|
||||
to NetBSD for their work. Despite some occasionally rocky moments in
|
||||
the relations between the two groups, we both want essentially the same
|
||||
thing: More BSD based operating systems on people's computers! We
|
||||
wish the NetBSD group every success in their endevors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware Contributors:
|
||||
|
||||
A special thank-you to Walnut Creek CDROM for providing the 486/DX2-66 EISA/VL
|
||||
system that is being used for our development work, to say nothing of
|
||||
the network access and other donations of hardware resources. It would have
|
||||
been impossible to do this release without their support.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks also to Dermot McDonnell for his donation of a Toshiba XM3401B CDROM
|
||||
drive. It's been most useful!

|
||||
Welcome to FreeBSD 2.0, the complete 4.4 BSD Lite based OS for Intel (or
|
||||
compatible) based PCs.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several documents on the floppy and a couple of on-line help
|
||||
screens that will greatly assist you in installing your system as you go
|
||||
along. Nonetheless, initial user testing has shown that some of the
|
||||
terminology used may be difficult for newcomers to UN*X to understand, so
|
||||
we've prepared this step-by-step guide explaining a typical installation.
|
||||
You may find it useful to print this out and keep it handy as you go
|
||||
through the installation, or at least read through it once carefully so
|
||||
that some of the prompts and questions you encounter do not come as
|
||||
complete surprises.
|
||||
|
||||
Before you do anything, make two 1.44MB floppies from the two image files
|
||||
you'll find in the floppies/ directory - boot.flp and cpio.flp. If you're
|
||||
reading this under DOS, you can do it in 1 easy step, or 3 in case this
|
||||
doesn't (for some weird reason) work:
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you're reading this file after typing "go", simply ESC back out for
|
||||
a moment and select the "makeflp" batch file to make the two floppies.
|
||||
This will invoke the DOS formatter to format the floppies and then
|
||||
attempt to write the two disk images onto them. If this doesn't work,
|
||||
follow steps 2 through 4:
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the DOS format command to format 2 NEW floppies. A lot of problems
|
||||
have been caused by people using old and defective floppies, and much
|
||||
grief can often be saved by simply using new, or at least trusted,
|
||||
media.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert the first floppy and type:
|
||||
|
||||
tools\dos-tool\rawrite floppies\boot.flp a:
|
||||
|
||||
4. Insert the second floppy and type
|
||||
|
||||
tools\dos-tool\rawrite floppies\cpio.flp a:
|
||||
|
||||
You're now prepared to boot from the boot floppy and begin the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The installation starts with the following screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+-------------------------- Welcome to FreeBSD! ---------------------------+
|
||||
| Use ALT-F2 and ALT-F1 to toggle between debugging |
|
||||
| information screen (ALT-F2) or this dialog screen (ALT-F1) |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| Please select one of the following options: |
|
||||

|
||||
| | 1. README READ THIS FIRST. | |
|
||||
| | 2. Release Notes Read the 2.0 Release Notes (recommended). | |
|
||||
| | 3. Troubleshooting Read this in case of trouble. | |
|
||||
| | 4. Partitions and MBRs Verbose description of how these work. | |
|
||||
| | 5. COPYRIGHT Read FreeBSD Copyright Information. | |
|
||||
| | 6. Install Proceed with full installation. | |
|
||||
| | 7. Fixit Repair existing installation (`fixit' mode). | |
|
||||
| | 8. Quit Don't do anything, just reboot. | |

|
||||
You can move the arrow keys up and down to highlight the various options,
|
||||
selecting an option by hitting return when its line is highlighted. You
|
||||
can also type the number of the option you want (1 - 7) and hit return.
|
||||
It's recommended that you read the README at a minimum, though the Release
|
||||
Notes are also helpful. This may seem a like a lot to read, but if you are
|
||||
new to FreeBSD then these notes are invaluable for explaining the system
|
||||
and are highly recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're done reading docs, select Install (5) to proceed to the next
|
||||
screen.
|
||||
|
||||
This next screen is the disk editor screen, which looks like this:

FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE Installation -- Diskspace editor
|

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|Be sure to also (A)ssign a
|
||||
|mount point to each one or
|
||||
|it will NOT be enabled.
|
||||
|
|
||||
|We suggest that you invoke
|
||||
|(F)disk, (W)rite the bootcode
|
||||
|then (D)isklabel your disk.
|
||||
|If installing on a drive
|
||||
|other than 0, also read the
|
||||
|TROUBLESHOOTING doc first
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Enter Command>
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
As we can see, this system has two drives, sd0 and sd1. On an IDE system,
|
||||
these would show up as "wd0" and "wd1" (or, on a single drive system, just
|
||||
sd0 or wd0). We can see that neither of them has any space assigned to
|
||||
FreeBSD (they each show 0MB under the FreeBSD column), so we follow the
|
||||
instructions on the right hand side of the screen and invoke the (F)disk
|
||||
editor by typing `f':
|
||||
|
||||
Enter Command> F
|
||||
|
||||
We're now prompted with the drive number to (F)disk, so we enter 0 for
|
||||
the first drive:
|
||||
|
||||
Enter number of disk to Fdisk> 0
|
||||
|
||||
This now brings us to the FDISK editor screen, which looks like this:
|
||||

||||

|
||||
Enter Command>
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We see that drive 0 has a DOS partition (also called a "slice" in FreeBSD
|
||||
parlance, to distinguish it from a FreeBSD partition) on it which is 300MB
|
||||
in size (don't worry if the numbers you see are much smaller than these - I
|
||||
have a pretty large 2.1GB disk! :-). Let's also say we want to allocate
|
||||
the rest to FreeBSD, so to do this we want to (E)dit one of the existing
|
||||
slices. We can see that 2, 3, and 4 are unused so let's pick the first
|
||||
unused one, which is 2 (if we wanted to replace an existing operating
|
||||
system slice with FreeBSD, we'd pick its number instead). We first type
|
||||
`E' to edit a slice entry:
|
||||
|
||||
Enter Command> E
|
||||
|
||||
And we're prompted for a slice to edit. We type 2:
|
||||
|
||||
Edit which Slice> 2
|
||||
|
||||
Now we're prompted for the size of the new slice, the default for which is
|
||||
all remaining space on the disk. Let's say that we don't want to allocate
|
||||
ALL the space on the disk, but want to reserve 400MB for some other future
|
||||
OS. The total amount of free space left is 1706MB, which is the default
|
||||
value selected for us, so we backspace over it and enter 1306:
|
||||
|
||||
Size of slice in MB> 1306
|
||||
|
||||
Now we're asked for the type of the slice. The type is what tells the PC
|
||||
what sort of slice this is. DOS primary slices are, for example, type 6.
|
||||
FreeBSD slices are type 0xa5 (hexadecimal). If we wanted to reserve space
|
||||
at this time for some other type of OS like Linux or OS/2, and we knew
|
||||
their slice type (0x82 for Linux and 0x0A for OS/2, just in case you're
|
||||
interested), we could also do that from this editor, but we're only
|
||||
interested in FreeBSD for now so we accept the default.
|
||||
|
||||
Type of slice (0xa5=FreeBSD)> 0xa5
|
||||
|
||||
The next prompt asks if we want to make this slice bootable by
|
||||
default, which we do so we accept the default:
|
||||
|
||||
Bootflag (0x80 for YES)> 0x80
|
||||
|
||||
At this point we come back to the main screen, which now shows a new entry
|
||||
for slice 2:

||||

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
At this point we're happy with the slices on the first drive, so we type
|
||||
`w' to write the new information out. It also prompts to make *sure* we
|
||||
really want to do this, so we backspace over the default of `N' and type
|
||||
`y'<return>. And this point, we also can decide whether or not we want a
|
||||
"boot manager" installed. A boot manager is a little utility that prompts
|
||||
you for the operating system you want to boot every time you reset or power
|
||||
on your PC, and can be a very handy way of sharing your computer between
|
||||
FreeBSD and some other OS, like Linux or DOS. We decide that we want to
|
||||
have this feature, so we `b' to write the special MBR (B)ootcode out to the
|
||||
disk. This does not harm any of the other operating systems on the disk,
|
||||
as it's written to a special area. Now we exit this screen by typing `q',
|
||||
for (Q)uit.
|
||||
|
||||
This brings us back to the main prompt. If we wanted to allocate any
|
||||
additional slices on other drives, we also could re-invoke the (F)disk
|
||||
editor by typing `f' again and giving a different drive number at the
|
||||
prompt, but we'll assume for now that we've only got one disk and want to
|
||||
go on. Typing `d' now enters the (D)isklabel screen, which prompts us for
|
||||
the drive to write a disklabel onto, like the FDISK editor. We type `0'
|
||||
for the first drive and hit return. This brings us to the DISKLABEL editor
|
||||
screen, which looks like this:

|
||||
|
||||
The BSD partitions, a - h, are FreeBSD's way of dividing up a physical
|
||||
slice into multiple file systems. Every FreeBSD system should have, at
|
||||
minimum, a root file system and a swap partition allocated. The root
|
||||
file system is called "/", and is generally put on partition `a' by
|
||||
convention. Swap partitions always go on `b', and the `c' and `d'
|
||||
partitions are special and point to the entire FreeBSD slice and the entire
|
||||
disk, respectively. `c' and `d' cannot and should not be allocated to
|
||||
actual file systems.
|
||||
|
||||
We also see that partition h points conveniently to the DOS slice,
|
||||
which we can also assign to a location in our file system hierarchy
|
||||
to conveniently share files between FreeBSD and DOS. More on this in
|
||||
a moment.
|
||||
|
||||
A typical file system layout might look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
/ 20MB
|
||||
swap 32MB
|
||||
/usr 120MB
|
||||
|
||||
/, or the root file system, contains system files and some temporary space.
|
||||
It should be at least 18MB in size, though a little extra doesn't hurt.
|
||||
Swap space is one of those "it never hurts to have too much" sorts of
|
||||
items, though if your system isn't too heavily used then it's probably not
|
||||
that important to have lots and lots of it. A good rule of thumb for swap
|
||||
is that you want a minimum of 12MB of it, and the overall calculation
|
||||
should be the amount of memory you have multiplied by two. That is to
|
||||
say that if you have 16MB of memory, then 32MB of swap is good.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've got several drives, you can also allocate some swap on each one
|
||||
and spread the load out a little. On my personal system, I've got 32MB of
|
||||
main memory and 64MB of swap on both drives for a total of 128MB of swap.
|
||||
This gives me 4X memory for total program swapping, which gives me the
|
||||
ability to run some pretty big programs! Emacs and the X Window System, in
|
||||
particular, can be real swap hogs.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, we'll assume for the moment that we're still configuring the
|
||||
ideal system and we'll allocate 64MB of swap space, using the MEM * 2
|
||||
equation. If you only had 8MB of memory, you'd allocate 16MB of swap
|
||||
instead.
|
||||
|
||||
The second file system of importance is /usr, which contains further system
|
||||
binaries and all of the bundled user binaries. /usr should be at least
|
||||
80MB in size to hold all of the important binaries, though if you plan on
|
||||
having a big /usr/local or on loading the X Window System (also known as
|
||||
XFree86 3.1) distribution then you should either create separate
|
||||
file systems for them, or you should make /usr a lot bigger.
|
||||
|
||||
It's also possible to skip making /usr altogether and simply make a large
|
||||
root (/) file system. Since /usr fits "underneath" /, a missing /usr won't
|
||||
cause any problems if / is large enough to hold the contents for both. In
|
||||
any case, it's a user decision and tends to be driven by convention more
|
||||
than anything else. For the purposes of this installation guide, we'll
|
||||
assume a 200MB /usr, 100MB of space allocated for local binaries, which
|
||||
we'll mount on /usr/local, and the rest for user home directories, which
|
||||
we'll mount on /usr/users. Don't be put off by the size of these numbers!
|
||||
You can make a system fit into less space, but since we're dividing up the
|
||||
ideal 2GB dream disk, we might as well do it right! ;-)
|
||||
|
||||
Getting back to the relevant part of the DISKLABEL screen again, we remember
|
||||
that it looked like this:
|
||||
|
||||
Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint
|
||||
a 0 0 0 0 unused
|
||||
b 0 0 0 0 unused
|
||||
c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused <Entire FreeBSD slice>
|
||||
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
|
||||
e 0 0 0 0 unused
|
||||
f 0 0 0 0 unused
|
||||
g 0 0 0 0 unused
|
||||
h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS
|
||||
|
||||
So we'll first allocate some space on partition `a' for that root partition
|
||||
by typing `e', for (E)dit partition. This asks us which partition we want
|
||||
to change the size of, so we type `a':
|
||||
|
||||
Change size of which partition> a
|
||||
|
||||
And it prompts us for the amount of space, so we'll pick 20MB for a nice
|
||||
comfortable root file system:
|
||||
|
||||
Size of partition in MB> 20
|
||||
|
||||
Now we see the display change to:
|
||||
|
||||
Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint
|
||||
a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
The system shows us where the partition starts and stops and indicates that
|
||||
it's a 4.2BSD file system, which is correct (it's really a 4.4 BSD file
|
||||
system, in actuality, but the two are similar enough to share the same
|
||||
label).
|
||||
|
||||
We do the same for swap by typing `e' again and modify the `b' partition
|
||||
by filling in 64 for the size, to allocate 64MB of swap.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, remembering that `c' and `d' are special, and not for our use, we
|
||||
change the size of `e' to 200 for our future /usr, `f' to 100 for our
|
||||
/usr/local, and `g' to the rest of the disk for /usr/users. When we're
|
||||
done, the top of the disklabel screen should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint
|
||||
a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD
|
||||
b 1474560 1605631 131072 64 swap
|
||||
c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused <Entire FreeBSD slice>
|
||||
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
|
||||
e 1605632 2015231 409600 200 4.2BSD
|
||||
f 2015232 2220031 204800 100 4.2BSD
|
||||
g 2220032 4108287 1888256 922 4.2BSD
|
||||
h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS
|
||||
|
||||
We left `h' alone, since we actually want to be able to share files with
|
||||
our DOS partition. At this point, we want to type `w' for (W)rite to write
|
||||
out the new size information to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
You probably also noticed by now that "/", "/usr" and the other file system
|
||||
names we've been talking about don't appear anywhere in the above list.
|
||||
Where are they? This brings us to the next stage, which is to (A)ssign the
|
||||
new partitions to actual file system mount points. A file system in
|
||||
FreeBSD doesn't actually appear anywhere until we "mount" it someplace, a
|
||||
convention from the old days when disks were actually large removable packs
|
||||
that a system operator physically mounted on a large washing-machine sized
|
||||
disk drive spindle! As you can see, not much has changed today! :-)
|
||||
|
||||
We'll proceed then by starting at the top with the first partition and
|
||||
assigning it to the root file system (/) by typing `a', for (A)ssign, and
|
||||
then typing `a' again, for partition a:
|
||||
|
||||
Assign which partition> a
|
||||
|
||||
When it asks us for the name of the mount point, we type /:
|
||||
|
||||
Directory mountpoint> /
|
||||
|
||||
And the display adjusts accordingly to show us the new state of affairs:
|
||||
|
||||
Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint
|
||||
a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD newfs /
|
||||
..
|
||||
|
||||
The Action field also now shows "newfs", which means that the partition
|
||||
will be created anew. For root file systems, this is the default and cannot
|
||||
be changed, but other partitions can be optionally "Preserved" by typing
|
||||
`p' for (P)reserve. There are very few situations in which we'd want to do
|
||||
this, but if, say, we were actually installing a disk from an older FreeBSD
|
||||
machine which we wanted to mount into our new system but NOT erase, we
|
||||
could do it this way. For now, let's assume that this is a new
|
||||
installation and we want all the file systems to be created from scratch.
|
||||
We thus go through and assign the rest of the file systems to their
|
||||
respective /usr, /usr/local and /usr/users mountpoints. We also assign the
|
||||
`b' partition, which doesn't take a mountpoint (and won't prompt for one
|
||||
when we (A)ssign it), but needs us to tell it that we're ready to use it
|
||||
for swap.
|
||||
|
||||
When we're done, the top of the screen should look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
Part Start End Blocks MB Type Action Mountpoint
|
||||
a 1433600 1474559 40960 20 4.2BSD newfs /
|
||||
b 1474560 1605631 131072 64 swap swap swap
|
||||
c 1433600 4108287 2674688 1306 unused <Entire FreeBSD slice>
|
||||
d 0 4108599 4108600 2006 unused <Entire Disk>
|
||||
e 1605632 2015231 409600 200 4.2BSD newfs /usr
|
||||
f 2015232 2220031 204800 100 4.2BSD newfs /usr/local
|
||||
g 2220032 4108287 1888256 922 4.2BSD newfs /usr/users
|
||||
h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS
|
||||
|
||||
As a final bonus, we'll assign the DOS partition to be mounted on /dos. We
|
||||
do this with (A)ssign as we did the others, and we also notice that the
|
||||
system is smart enough to see that it's not a FreeBSD partition and we
|
||||
DON'T want to newfs it, we want to simply mount it:
|
||||
|
||||
h 32 614399 614368 300 MSDOS mount /dos
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, our system is all set up and ready to go!
|
||||
|
||||
We type `q' to go back to the main menu and then type `p' to (P)roceed to
|
||||
the next phase of installation.
|
||||
|
||||
We're now given one last chance to back out of the install, and we hit
|
||||
return if we're sure, otherwise we type <Tab> to select "No" and hit return
|
||||
to consider our settings again before going on.
|
||||
|
||||
The rest of the installation is pretty much self-explanatory. After the
|
||||
file systems are initially created and populated, you'll be prompted to
|
||||
reboot from the hard disk. Do so and provide the cpio floppy when asked.
|
||||
|
||||
When the initial flurry of welcome and informational prompts has died down,
|
||||
you'll come to a screen asking you to load one or more distributions. At
|
||||
the minimum, select "bindist" to load the basic system. If you're loading
|
||||
from other than CDROM media, follow the appropriate paths through the
|
||||
installation process.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're loading from CDROM, select CDROM as the media type and select the
|
||||
type of CDROM you've got (SCSI or Mitsumi). When it asks you for an
|
||||
installation subdirectory, simply hit return if you've got the 2.0 CD from
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM. You may select additional optional packages to load
|
||||
after the bindist extracts, provided that you've got the space for it. Use
|
||||
the "?diskfree" menu option from time to time to keep an eye on your free
|
||||
space. When you're done, you'll be asked a few more basic questions and
|
||||
then that's it! You've got FreeBSD on your hard disk.
|
||||
|
||||
If you should need to partition another drive or install other packages
|
||||
later, you may re-invoke the sysinstall program by typing /sbin/sysinstall.
|
||||
The same familiar prompts will then come up.
|
||||
|
||||
Good luck!

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
|
||||
for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
|
||||
enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 some 18 months ago, FreeBSD
|
||||
has changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code
|
||||
base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
|
||||
shadows with the blessing of Novell (new owners of USL and UNIX). The
|
||||
port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems
|
||||
and enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we
|
||||
have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality
|
||||
operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to
|
||||
come!
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 represents the culmination of almost 2 years of work and
|
||||
many thousands of man hours put in by an international development team.
|
||||
We hope you enjoy it!
|
||||
|
||||
Many packages have also been upgraded or added, such as XFree86 3.1,
|
||||
xview 3.2, elm, nntp, mh, InterViews and dozens of other miscellaneous
|
||||
utilities have been ported and are now available as add-ons. See the
|
||||
ports collection (or the package collection) for a complete summary.
|
||||
|
||||
For a list of contributors, please see the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD",
|
||||
which should be bundled with your bindist distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Also see the new "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
|
||||
with the "Free BSD user counter". We've also provided a list of who's
|
||||
responsible for what (so that you may query them directly) in the
|
||||
"ROSTER.FreeBSD" file; use of this file is encouraged to ensure faster
|
||||
resolution of any problems you may have!
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxilliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the
|
||||
U.S.) exportable European distribution of DES for our non U.S. users also
|
||||
exists and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
If password security for FreeBSD is all you need, and you have no
|
||||
requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts (Suns,
|
||||
DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then FreeBSD's MD5
|
||||
based security may be all you require! We feel that our default security
|
||||
model is more than a match for DES, and without any messy export issues
|
||||
to deal with. If you're outside (or even inside) the U.S., give it a try!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 What's new in 2.0?
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
4.4 Lite
|
||||
--------
|
||||
As previously stated, this release is based entirely on CSRG's
|
||||
latest (and last) BSD release - 4.4 Lite. This features a number
|
||||
of improvements over 4.2BSD (Net/2), not least of which are:
|
||||
|
||||
o Legal approval of Novell & U.C. Berkeley. After the settlement
|
||||
of the longstanding lawsuit between USL/UCB/Novell/BSDI, all
|
||||
parties were (strongly) encouraged to move to 4.4 Lite in order
|
||||
to avoid future legal entanglements. The fact that we've now done
|
||||
so should make this release much more attractive to potential
|
||||
commercial users.
|
||||
|
||||
o Many new filesystem types, such as stackable filesystems, union
|
||||
filesystems, "portals", kernfs, a simple log-structured filesystem, a
|
||||
new version of NFS (NQNFS), etc. While some of these new filesystems
|
||||
are also rather unpolished and will require significant additional
|
||||
work to be truly robust, they're a good start.
|
||||
|
||||
o 64bit offsets, allowing filesystems of up to 2^63 bytes in size.
|
||||
|
||||
o Further work towards full POSIX compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
IP multicast support
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
The IP multicast support has been upgraded from the woefully ancient
|
||||
1.x code in 4.4-Lite to the most current and up-to-date 3.3 release
|
||||
from Steve D. and Ajit. The non-forwarding code is known to work (for
|
||||
some limited test cases). The multicast forwarder and user-mode
|
||||
multicast routing process are known to compile, but have not been
|
||||
significantly tested (hopefully this will happen before 2.0 release).

Loadable Kernel Modules
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
David Greenman incorporated NetBSD's port of Terry Lambert's loadable
|
||||
kernel module support. Garrett Wollman wrote the support for loadable
|
||||
file systems, and Søren Schmidt did the same for loadable execution
|
||||
classes.

||||

||||

|
||||
Sources involved: sys/kern, sbin/modload, sbin/modunload,

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Loadable filesystems
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
Most filesystems are now dynamically loadable on demand, with the
|
||||
exception of the UFS family (FFS, LFS, and MFS). With the exception
|
||||
of NFS, all such filesystems can be unloaded when all references are
|
||||
unmounted. To support this functionality, the getvfsbyname(3)
|
||||
family of functions has been added to the C library and the lsvfs(1)
|
||||
command provides the same information at the shell level. Be aware of
|
||||
the following current restrictions:
|
||||
|
||||
- /usr/bin may not reside on a dynamically loaded filesystem.
|
||||
- There must be a writable /tmp directory available
|
||||
before filesystems are loaded (moving / to the top of your
|
||||
/etc/fstab file will accomplish this).
|
||||
- Some of the more esoteric filesystems simply don't work when loaded
|
||||
dynamically (though they often don't work "static", either.)

|
||||
S/Key
|
||||
-----
|
||||
Since version 1.1.5, FreeBSD has supported the S/Key one time password
|
||||
scheme. The version used is derived from the logdaemon package of Wietse
|
||||
Venema.
|
||||
Some of the features new in 2.0 are:
|
||||
- New access control table format to impose the use of S/Keys
|
||||
based on: hostname, ip address, port, username, group id.
|
||||
- S/Key support can be disabled by not having the access control
|
||||
table.
|
||||
The second item explains the absence of skey.access in the installed /etc.
|
||||
To enable S/Key support, create a file skey.access in /etc and fill it
|
||||
according to your needs. See also skey.access(5) and the example in
|
||||
/usr/share/examples/etc/skey.access.

|

|
||||
TCP/IP over parallel (printer) port
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
You can now run TCP/IP over a standard LapLink(tm) cable, if both ends
|
||||
have an interrupt-driven printerport. The interface is named "lp0"
|
||||
where '0' is the same as the lpt# unit number. This is not compatible
|
||||
with PLIP. If you run NFS, try setting MTU to 9180, otherwise leave
|
||||
it at 1500 unless you have a good reason to change it. Speed varies
|
||||
with the CPU-type, with up to 70 kbyte/sec having been seen and 50
|
||||
kbyte/sec being the norm.

ProAudioSpectrum SCSI driver
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
If you have a PAS board with a CD-ROM, and the MS-DOS driver is called
|
||||
TSLCDR.SYS, then the "pas" driver should work on your card. You can
|
||||
attach disks, cdroms and tapes, but due to the nature of the hardware
|
||||
involved, the transfer rate is limited to < 690 kbyte/sec. For CD-ROM
|
||||
use, this is generally more than enough.

Adaptec 2742/2842 SCSI driver
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
Despite the non-cooperation of Adaptec in providing technical
|
||||
information, we now have a driver for the AHA-274x and AHA-284x
|
||||
series SCSI controller family. This driver uses the GPL'd
|
||||
Linux sequencer code, so until we find an alternative, this
|
||||
will be part of the kernel that requires source code to be
|
||||
distributed with it at all times. This shouldn't be a problem
|
||||
for any of FreeBSD's current users.

||||
Gzip'd binaries
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
We have an experimental implementation for direct execution of gzip'ed
|
||||
binaries in this release. When enabled, it allows you to simply gzip
|
||||
your binaries, remove the '.gz' extension and make the file
|
||||
executable. There is a big speed and memory consumption penalty for
|
||||
doing this, but for laptop users it may be worthwhile. The maximum
|
||||
savings are generally around 10 Mb of disk space.

Diskless booting
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Diskless booting in 2.0 is much improved since 1.1.5. The
|
||||
boot-program is in src/sys/i386/boot/netboot, and can be run from an
|
||||
MSDOS system or burned into an EPROM. Local swapping is also
|
||||
possible. WD, SMC, 3COM and Novell ethernet cards are currently
|
||||
supported.

|
||||
Device configuration database
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
The kernel now keeps better track of which device drivers are active and
|
||||
where the devices are attached; this information is made available to
|
||||
user programs via the new sysctl(3) management interface. Current
|
||||
applications include lsdev(8), which lists the currently configured
|
||||
devices. In the future, we expect to use this code to automatically
|
||||
generate a configuration file for you at installation time.

||||
|

|
||||
Kernel management interface
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
With 4.4-Lite, we now have a better management interface for the endless
|
||||
series of kernel variables and parameters which were previously manipulated
|
||||
by reading and writing /dev/kmem. Many programs have been rewritten to
|
||||
use this interface, although many old-style programs still remain. Some
|
||||
variables which were never accessible before are now available through
|
||||
the sysctl(1) program. In addition to the standard 4.4BSD MIB variables,
|
||||
we have added support for YP/NIS domains (kern.domainname), controlling
|
||||
the update daemon (kern.update), retrieving the OS release date
|
||||
(kern.osreldate), determining the name of the booted kernel (kern.bootfile),
|
||||
and checking for hardware floating-point support (hw.floatingpoint).
|
||||
We have also added support to make management queries of devices and
|
||||
filesystems.

iBCS2 support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently
|
||||
SCO UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported).
|
||||
The iBCS2 emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we
|
||||
haven't been able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps),
|
||||
but almost all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old
|
||||
INFORMIX-2.10 for SCO. Further testing is nessesary to complete this
|
||||
project. There is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and
|
||||
most of the svr4 syscall wrappers have been written.

2. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||
also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Following is a list of all currently known disk controllers and
|
||||
ethernet cards known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may
|
||||
very well work, and we have simply not received any indication of
|
||||
this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
[Note: the new Extended IDE controllers in newer PC's work, although no
|
||||
extended features are used.]
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
Adaptec 2742/2842 series ISA/EISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
|
||||
the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||
|
||||
** Note: You cannot boot from the Soundblaster cards
|
||||
as they have no on-board BIOS, which is necessary for mapping
|
||||
the boot device into the system BIOS I/O vectors.
|
||||
They're perfectly usable for external tapes, CDROMs, etc,
|
||||
however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which
|
||||
is generally indicated by some sort of message when the system
|
||||
is first powered up or reset. Check your system/board documentation
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
|
||||
Buslogic 545S & 545c
|
||||
Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
|
||||
Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller.
|
||||
Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
|
||||
|
||||
NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller.
|
||||
|
||||
DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
|
||||
SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
|
||||
DAT) and CD ROM drives. Note: This and the mcd driver (Mitsumi CDROM
|
||||
interface card) are the only way a CD ROM drive may be currently
|
||||
attached to a FreeBSD system; we do not support SoundBlaster
|
||||
(non-SCSI) CDROM interface, or other "non-SCSI" adapters. The
|
||||
ProAudio Spectrum SCSI and SoundBlaster SCSI controllers are
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of
|
||||
memory, due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space of
|
||||
24 bits. If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it
|
||||
impossible to do direct DMA to any address >16MB. This limitation is
|
||||
even true of some EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when
|
||||
they're configured to emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all*
|
||||
respects. This problem is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which do
|
||||
not use DMA), true EISA controllers (like the UltraStor or Adaptec
|
||||
1742A) and most VLB (local bus) controllers. In the cases where it's
|
||||
necessary, the system will use "bounce buffers" to talk to the
|
||||
controller so that you can still use more than 16Mb of memory without
|
||||
difficulty.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. Ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||
SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
|
||||
WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
|
||||
based clones. SMC Elite Ultra is also supported.
|
||||
|
||||
DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204, and DE205)
|
||||
DEC EtherWORKS II NICs (DE200, DE201, DE202, and DE422)

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||
Toshiba ethernet cards
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
2.3. Misc
|
||||
|
||||
AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently does NOT support IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus, but
|
||||
support is apparently close to materializing. Details will be posted
|
||||
as the situation develops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Obtaining FreeBSD.
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`freebsd.cdrom.com' - the offical FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the nearest site
|
||||
to you netwise.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files from freebsd.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
|
||||
through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
|
||||
resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||
Concord CA 94520
|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com. Their current catalog can
|
||||
be obtained via ftp as ftp.cdrom.com:/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost is $39.95. Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada,
|
||||
or Mexico and $10.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, American
|
||||
Express, and ship COD to the United States. California residents please
|
||||
add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Walnut Creek CDROM does NOT provide technical support for FreeBSD,
|
||||
you need to contact the FreeBSD team for that. Please see section 5 for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Preparing for the installation.
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Floppy Installation
|
||||
|
||||
If you must install from floppy disks, either due to space contraints
|
||||
on your hard disk or just because you enjoy doing things the hard
|
||||
way, you must first prepare some floppies for the install.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need either 10 1.44MB floppies or 12 1.2MB floppies to
|
||||
store just the bindist (binary distribution). These *must* be
|
||||
formatted using MS-DOS, using either the FORMAT command in MS-DOS
|
||||
or the File Manager in Microsoft Windows to prepare the floppies
|
||||
(though factory preformatted floppies will also well well, provided
|
||||
that they haven't been previously used for something else).
|
||||
|
||||
After you've formatted the floppy disks, you'll need to copy the
|
||||
files onto them. There are 56 total files for the bindist itself,
|
||||
plus three small files (CKSUMS, do_cksum.sh, and extract.sh) for
|
||||
the install program to use. ALL of these files must be copies onto
|
||||
the floppies. Each of the bindist files are named "bindist.??",
|
||||
where the "??" is replaced by the letter sequence aa through cd.
|
||||
Copy these files onto the floppies, placing the three small install
|
||||
files onto the final floppy. The order in which you copy the files
|
||||
to floppy is not important, but it makes labelling the disks easier
|
||||
if you go in some sort of alphabetical order.
|
||||
|
||||
After you've done this, the floppy disks are ready for the install
|
||||
program to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Later on, after you get the binary distribution installed and everything
|
||||
is going great, the same instructions will apply for the other
|
||||
distributions, such as the manpages distribution or the XFree86 distribution.
|
||||
The number of floppies required will, of course, change for bigger or
|
||||
smaller distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Hard Disk Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition, you should simply
|
||||
copy the files from the distribution into a directory with the same
|
||||
name as the distribution. For example, if you are preparing to
|
||||
install the bindist set, then make a directory on your C: drive named
|
||||
C:\BINDIST and copy the files there. This will allow the installation
|
||||
program to find the files automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. QIC/SCSI Tape Installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing from tape is probably the easiest method, short of an
|
||||
on-line install using ftp or installing from a CDROM. The installation
|
||||
program expects the files to be simply tar'red onto the tape, so after
|
||||
getting all of the files for distribution you're interested in, simply
|
||||
tar them onto the tape with something like:
|
||||
|
||||
cd <where the *.?? files are>
|
||||
tar cvf /dev/rwt0 (or /dev/rst0) .
|
||||
|
||||
from a directory with just the distribution files in it. Make sure
|
||||
that you remember to put CKSUMS, do_cksum.sh, and extract.sh files
|
||||
in this directory as well!
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to install multiple *dist releases from one tape, do the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. cd to the parent directory of the distributions and put them on tape
|
||||
like so:
|
||||
tar cvf /dev/rwt0 (or /dev/rst0) bindist srcdist ...
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the first distribution on the tape using the tape installation
|
||||
method as normal. Afterwards, *do not* erase the contents of the temporary
|
||||
directory. Get a shell with ESC-ESC and cd to the temporary directory
|
||||
yourself. For each additional *dist you want to load, cd to its
|
||||
subdirectory and type `sh ./extract.sh'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with internet
|
||||
mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command. Bug reports will be
|
||||
dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can be sure

to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|

Subject: For those that didn't see this in announce - 2.0 ALPHA is released!<br>
|
||||
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 1994 01:31:42 -0800<br>
|
||||
From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freefall.cdrom.com></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FreeBSD Project team is very pleased to announce their release of
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.0 ALPHA; a full 32 bit 4.4 BSD Lite based operating system
|
||||
for Intel PCs (i386, i486 and Pentium class).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 some 18 months ago, FreeBSD has
|
||||
changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code base
|
||||
was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
|
||||
shadows with the blessing of Novell (new owners of USL and UNIX). The
|
||||
port to 4.4 also brought in a host of new features, filesystems and
|
||||
enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we have
|
||||
every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality operating
|
||||
systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to come!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.0 represents the culmination of almost 2 years of work and
|
||||
many thousands of man hours put in by an international development
|
||||
team. We hope you enjoy it!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.0 ALPHA also features an advanced installation that enables
|
||||
one to install from tape, CD, SLIP or ethernet (NFS or FTP). FreeBSD
|
||||
2.0 BETA, planned for the 2nd week of November, will also support
|
||||
installation from floppy or DOS partition (sorry, it didn't quite make
|
||||
the ALPHA!) and offer even more "plug-n-play" features for editing
|
||||
disklabels and such. This is, nonetheless, our easiest to use
|
||||
installation yet, and we hope that with your feedback and suggestions,
|
||||
our final 2.0 Release version will be even nicer still!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For more information on what's new with FreeBSD, or what general
|
||||
features it offers, we strongly suggest that you simply download our
|
||||
boot floppy and boot from it. You can easily read the release notes
|
||||
on it using a simple menu, and with no danger to the contents of your
|
||||
hard disk (unless you deliberately chose "proceed with installation",
|
||||
in which case your fate is in your own hands! :-).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Those truly wishing to wait for the final release version of 2.0 are,
|
||||
of course, encouraged to do so, but I think that many of you will find
|
||||
this to be our most polished "ALPHA" release yet! Give it a try! An
|
||||
upgrade path from ALPHA->RELEASE will also be provided, and we do NOT
|
||||
plan any major changes between now and the final release in December.
|
||||
We generally try to err on the side of conservatism in our releases,
|
||||
and the 2.0 release cycle is no exception. Those wishing to obtain
|
||||
2.0 on CDROM will have to wait until the 2.0 Release date, at which
|
||||
point it will be made available by Walnut Creek CDROM (info@cdrom.com)
|
||||
and other CDROM publishers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you're currently running 1.x and are looking for an upgrade path,
|
||||
we're sorry to say that only full installations are supported at this
|
||||
time. Simply back up your password and user files before reinstalling
|
||||
from the 2.0 media, then bring them back. If public demand is high
|
||||
enough, and we can figure out a way of easily doing it, we'll offer
|
||||
something, but it should be understood that the differences between
|
||||
1.x and 2.0 are <em>large</em>, and it's not certain that we'll be able to do
|
||||
it at all.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Those unable or unwilling to download the boot floppy may also get the
|
||||
release notes by mail - send mail to <info@FreeBSD.org> for an
|
||||
automated reply. Updated information will also be provided on a more
|
||||
or less continuous basis in our <a href="/When">WEB pages</a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.0A is available for ftp in <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-ALPHA/">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-ALPHA/</a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It will also, no doubt, be available on a number of mirror sites as
|
||||
soon as they pick it up. However, ftp.freebsd.org is on a T3 line and
|
||||
supports 300 simultaneous users (it's a FreeBSD machine :-), so it's
|
||||
unlikely that you'll have too much trouble getting it from this site
|
||||
until the mirrors do so.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you are directly Internet connected, it is also NOT necessary to
|
||||
load the bindist from this site! Simply download the 2 boot floppies,
|
||||
begin the installation, and select the FTP installation method - it
|
||||
will do the rest for you, transparently.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, we'd like to publically <em>thank</em> <a
|
||||
href="http://www.cdrom.com/">Walnut Creek CDROM</a>, without whos
|
||||
continuing support and extreme generousity, we'd probably be long
|
||||
gone! They've been of immense help to us. Thank you, Walnut
|
||||
Creek CDROM!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thanks must also go to Poul-Henning Kamp, our fearless and long
|
||||
suffering release engineer for 2.0. While all of us have sacrificed
|
||||
much sleep to the cause, he has a new wife but has somehow managed to
|
||||
do so as well! :-)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And to all of our users (this is probably starting to sound like the
|
||||
academy awards :-), a similar thank you! We couldn't have done it
|
||||
without your constant flow of commentary, patches, donations of code
|
||||
and moral support. As corny as it sounds, we do it all for you folks!
|
||||
[Though the ego gratification is nice too :-)]</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thanks to all, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this release!</p>
|
||||

||||

<p>FreeBSD <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE">
|
||||
2.1.5-RELEASE</a> is now available on ftp.freebsd.org and various
|
||||
FTP mirror sites throughout the world. It can also be ordered on
|
||||
<a href="http://www.cdrom.com/titles/freebsd.html">CD</a> from
|
||||
from <a href="http://www.cdrom.com/">Walnut Creek CDROM</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.1.5 represents the culmination of over a year's worth of
|
||||
work on the <a href="/handbook/stable.html">2.1-STABLE</a> branch of
|
||||
FreeBSD since it began with FreeBSD 2.0.5. In the 7 months since 2.1
|
||||
was released, many many bug fixes, updates and careful enhancements
|
||||
have been made, the results of which you now see here.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The STABLE branch was conceived out of the need to allow FreeBSD to
|
||||
grow and support long-term development projects (like devfs, NFSv3,
|
||||
IPX, PCCARD, etc.) while at the same time not jeopardizing the
|
||||
stability of its existing user base. FreeBSD 2.1.5 marks the finishing
|
||||
point for that effort and, barring any small "slipstream" releases done
|
||||
to solve significant problems, no further releases along the 2.1-STABLE
|
||||
branch are anticipated. The concept of "stable" and "experimental"
|
||||
tracks is not being abandoned, we'll simply be doing this somewhat
|
||||
differently in the future.</p>
|
||||
|
||||

||||

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.1.5 RELEASE
|
||||
|
||||
0. What is this release?
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.1.5R is the follow-on release to 2.1R and focuses primarily
|
||||
on fixing bugs, closing security holes and conservative enhancements.
|
||||
For more information on bleeding-edge development, please see
|
||||
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current.html.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. What's New since 2.1.0-RELEASE?
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
Quite a few things have changed since the last major release
|
||||
of FreeBSD. To make it easier to identify specific changes,
|
||||
we've broken them into several major categories:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Device Drivers:
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Support for the Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI adapter.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for Specialix SI and XIO serial cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the Stallion EasyIO, EasyConnection 8/32 and
|
||||
EasyConnection 8/64, as well as the older Onboard and Brumby serial
|
||||
cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet card.
|
||||
|
||||
Real PCI Buslogic support (new driver and probing order).
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the ARNET (now Digiboard) Sync 570i high-speed serial card.
|
||||
|
||||
Better support for the Matrox Meteor frame grabber card.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the Connectix Quickcam (parallel port camera).
|
||||
|
||||
Worm driver - it is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or
|
||||
HP 4080i CDR drives (see `wormcontrol(1)'). NOTE: If your drive
|
||||
probes as a CD rather than a WORM, some additional patches may be
|
||||
required from -current to get it working for you. We decided not to
|
||||
bring these changes over by default as they make too many changes to
|
||||
the SCSI subsystem (not necessarily bad changes, but more risky).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Kernel features:
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
Various VM system enhancements and more than a few bugs fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
A concatenated disk driver for simple types of RAID applications.
|
||||
See the man page for ccd(4) for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
Real PCI bus probing (before ISA) and support for various PCI bridges.
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux emulation is now good enough to run the Linux version of
|
||||
Netscape, with JAVA support (as well as a number of other Linux
|
||||
utilities).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Userland code updates:
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The system installation tool has been revamped with slightly different
|
||||
menu behavior and a number of bugs have been fixed. It's hoped that
|
||||
this installation will be more intuitive for new users than previous
|
||||
ones (feedback welcomed, of course) as well as more useful in the
|
||||
post-install scenario (I know, I keep saying this :-).
|
||||
|
||||
Many improvements to the NIS code.
|
||||
|
||||
The ncftp program is no longer part of the default system - it has been
|
||||
replaced by a library (/usr/src/lib/libftpio) and a more powerful program
|
||||
which uses it called ``fetch'' (/usr/src/usr.bin/fetch). You may find
|
||||
ncftp as part of the ports collection (in /usr/ports/net/ncftp) if you
|
||||
still wish to use it, though fetch is slightly more capable in that
|
||||
it can fetch from both FTP and HTTP servers (ftp://... or http://... URLs).
|
||||
See the man page for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
|
||||
for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
|
||||
enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 over a year ago, the performance,
|
||||
feature set and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically. The
|
||||
largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
|
||||
cache that not only increases performance but reduces FreeBSD's memory
|
||||
footprint, making a 5MB configuration a more acceptable minimum.
|
||||
Other enhancements include full NIS client and server support,
|
||||
transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
|
||||
subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
|
||||
(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
|
||||
narrow) and 3940 SCSI adaptors along with many hundreds of bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
We've taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
|
||||
heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
|
||||
easily understood installation process. Your feedback on this
|
||||
(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
|
||||
software collection with over 450 commonly sought-after programs. The
|
||||
list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
|
||||
editors and almost everything in between. The entire ports collection
|
||||
requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
|
||||
to their original sources. This makes it much easier for us to update
|
||||
ports and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the ports
|
||||
collection. To compile a port, you simply change to the directory of
|
||||
the program you wish to install, type make and let the system do the
|
||||
rest. The full original distribution for each port you build is
|
||||
retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so you need
|
||||
only enough disk space to build the ports you want. (Almost) every
|
||||
port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
|
||||
installed with a simple command (pkg_add). See also the new Packages
|
||||
option in the Configuration menu for an especially convenient interface
|
||||
to the package collection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A number of additional documents which you may find helpful in the
|
||||
process of installing and using FreeBSD may now also be found in the
|
||||
/usr/share/doc directory. You may view the manuals with any HTML
|
||||
capable browser by saying:
|
||||
|
||||
To read the handbook:
|
||||
<browser> file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
|
||||
|
||||
To read the FAQ:
|
||||
<browser> file:/usr/share/doc/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html
|
||||
|
||||
You can also visit the master (and most frequently updated) copies at
|
||||
http://www.freebsd.org.
|
||||
|
||||
The export version of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would
|
||||
inhibit its being exported outside the United States. There is an
|
||||
add-on package to the core distribution which contains the programs
|
||||
and libraries that normally use DES. A freely exportable (from
|
||||
outside the U.S.) distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
|
||||
exists at ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
If password security for FreeBSD is all you need and you have no
|
||||
requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
|
||||
(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
|
||||
FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require! We feel that our
|
||||
default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
|
||||
messy export issues to deal with. If you're outside (or even inside)
|
||||
the U.S., give it a try! This snapshot also includes support for
|
||||
mixed password files - either DES or MD5 passwords will be accepted,
|
||||
making it easier to transition from one scheme to the other.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Supported Configurations
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium Pro class machines (though the
|
||||
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||
also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
What follows is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards
|
||||
currently known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may also
|
||||
work, but we have simply not received any confirmation of this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3.1. Disk Controllers
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
IDE
|
||||
ATA
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
Adaptec 274X/284X/2940/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI
|
||||
controllers.
|
||||
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
|
||||
Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
|
||||
the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||
|
||||
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
|
||||
on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
|
||||
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
|
||||
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
|
||||
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
|
||||
or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
|
||||
Check your system/board documentation for more details.

4. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
4.1. FTP/Mail
|
||||
|
||||
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
||||
`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
||||
|
||||
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
||||
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
||||
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
||||
Contact admin@freebsd.org for more details if you'd like to become an
|
||||
official mirror site.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have access to the internet and electronic mail is your
|
||||
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
||||
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
||||
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
||||
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
||||
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
||||
LAST resort!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4.2. CDROM
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE and these 2.2 SNAPSHOT CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM
|
||||
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
||||
Concord CA 94520
|
||||
1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
|
||||
|
||||
Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
||||
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as:
|
||||
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
|
||||
FreeBSD 2.2-SNAP CDs are $29.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
|
||||
(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely seperate). With a
|
||||
subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they are released.
|
||||
Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
|
||||
your subscription at any time without further obligation.
|
||||
|
||||
Walnut Creek CDROM also sells a full line of FreeBSD related
|
||||
merchandise such as T-shirts ($14.95, available in "child", Large and
|
||||
XL sizes), coffee mugs ($9.95), tattoos ($0.25 each) and posters
|
||||
($3.00).
|
||||
|
||||
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
|
||||
and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
|
||||
Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
|
||||
States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
||||
unconditional return policy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||
internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command. Bug reports
|
||||
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
||||
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
||||
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
||||
watch out for.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
|
||||
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
|
||||
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
|
||||
mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
|
||||
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
|
||||
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
|
||||
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
|
||||
|
||||
announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All but the freebsd-bugs groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
||||
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
||||
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
||||
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
||||
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
||||
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
||||
and ask about them!

<p>Could it be? Could the long-awaited release of FreeBSD
|
||||
2.1 truly have arrived?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It gives me great pleasure to answer those questions with

a ``yes!''</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE is now available on <a

href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/">ftp.freebsd.org</a>
|

where it will be shipping shortly.</p>
|

|
||||
<p>FreeBSD 2.1 represents the culmination of 6 months worth
|
||||
of work on the 2.1-STABLE branch of FreeBSD since the
|
||||
previous release (FreeBSD 2.0.5).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The STABLE branch was conceived out of the need to allow
|
||||
FreeBSD to grow and support long-term development projects
|
||||
like devfs, NFSv3, IPX, PCCARD, etc. while at the same time
|
||||
not jeopardizing the stability of its existing user base.
|
||||
Experimental or high-impact changes are allowed into <a
|
||||
href="../../handbook/current.html">FreeBSD-current</a>,
|
||||
which represents a sort of shared group development tree,
|
||||
and only well tested or obvious fixes are allowed into
|
||||
STABLE. In a few rare cases, where some bit of
|
||||
functionality was entirely missing before, we've supplied
|
||||
an ALPHA test quality version in STABLE on the premise that
|
||||
some functionality is better than none at all (a good
|
||||
example being the IDE CDROM driver).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For more information on the 2.1 release itself, please
|
||||

|
||||

RELEASE NOTES
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
Release 2.1
|
||||
|
||||
1. Technical overview
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
|
||||
for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's. It is based
|
||||
primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
|
||||
enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 over a year ago, the performance,
|
||||
feature set and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically. The
|
||||
largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
|
||||
cache that not only increases performance but reduces FreeBSD's memory
|
||||
footprint, making a 5MB configuration a more acceptable minimum.
|
||||
Other enhancements include full NIS client and server support,
|
||||
transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
|
||||
subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
|
||||
(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
|
||||
narrow) and 3940 SCSI adaptors along with many hundreds of bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
We've also taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
|
||||
heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
|
||||
easily understood installation process. Your feedback on this
|
||||
(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
|
||||
software collection with over 350 commonly sought-after programs. The
|
||||
list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
|
||||
editors and almost everything in between. The entire ports collection
|
||||
requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
|
||||
to their original sources. This makes it much easier for us to update
|
||||
ports and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the ports
|
||||
collection. To compile a port, you simply change to the directory of
|
||||
the program you wish to install, type make and let the system do the
|
||||
rest. The full original distribution for each port you build is
|
||||
retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so you need
|
||||
only enough disk space to build the ports you want. (Almost) every
|
||||
port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
|
||||
installed with a simple command (pkg_add). See also the new Packages
|
||||
option in the Configuration menu for an especially convenient interface
|
||||
to the package collection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A number of additional documents which you may find helpful in the
|
||||
process of installing and using FreeBSD may now also be found in the
|
||||
/usr/share/doc directory. You may view the manuals with any HTML
|
||||
capable browser by saying:
|
||||
|
||||
To read the handbook:
|
||||
<browser> file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
|
||||
|
||||
To read the FAQ:
|
||||
<browser> file:/usr/share/doc/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html
|
||||
|
||||
You can also visit the master (and most frequently updated) copies at
|
||||
http://www.freebsd.org.
|
||||
|
||||
The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
|
||||
being exported outside the United States. There is an add-on package
|
||||
to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
|
||||
contains the programs that normally use DES. The auxiliary packages
|
||||
provided separately can be used by anyone. A freely (from outside the
|
||||
U.S.) exportable distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
|
||||
exists at ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
If password security for FreeBSD is all you need and you have no
|
||||
requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
|
||||
(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
|
||||
FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require! We feel that our
|
||||
default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
|
||||
messy export issues to deal with. If you're outside (or even inside)
|
||||
the U.S., give it a try!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Supported Configurations
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
|
||||
based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
||||
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
||||
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
||||
also provided.
|
||||
|
||||
What follows is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards
|
||||
currently known to work with FreeBSD. Other configurations may also
|
||||
work, but we have simply not received any confirmation of this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Disk Controllers
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
|
||||
WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
|
||||
IDE
|
||||
ATA
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
|
||||
Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
|
||||
Adaptec 274X/284X/2940/3940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI
|
||||
controllers.
|
||||
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
|
||||
the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
|
||||
|
||||
** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
|
||||
on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
|
||||
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
|
||||
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
|
||||
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
|
||||
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
|
||||
or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
|
||||
Check your system/board documentation for more details.

Reporting problems, making suggestions and submitting code:
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
||||
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
||||
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
||||
internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command. Bug reports
|
||||
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
||||
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
||||
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
||||
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
||||
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
||||
watch out for.
|
||||
|
||||
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
||||
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
||||
|
||||
bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
questions@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
||||
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
|
||||
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
|
||||
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
|
||||
mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
|
||||
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
|
||||
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
|
||||
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
|
||||
|
||||
announce@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Any of the groups can be freely joined by anyone wishing to do so.
|
||||
Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword `help' on a
|
||||
line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This will give
|
||||
you more information on joining the various lists, accessing archives,
|
||||
etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at special interest
|
||||
groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo and ask about
|
||||
them!

hundreds, of individuals from around the world who have worked very

impossible, to enumerate everyone who's contributed to FreeBSD, but
|

<h2>Future Releases</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The next official release will be
|
||||
<strong>2.2</strong> which will be derived from the
|
||||
<b><a href="../handbook/current.html">FreeBSD-current</a></b>
|
||||
branch of the development tree. Periodic
|
||||
<b><a href="snapshots.html">snapshot</a></b> releases
|

will be made available before the release.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The <b><a href="../handbook/stable.html">FreeBSD-stable</a></b>
|
||||
branch is also being loosely supported, with critical bug fixes
|
||||
and installation system changes being brought in from time to time.
|
||||
A 2.1.6 release will probably occur on this branch some
|
||||
time in the next 2-3 months, just to clean up a last few remaining
|
||||
nits from 2.1.5.</li>

<h2>What are snapshots?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As part of an ongoing effort to improve the overall
|
||||
release process <em>before</em> a release actually slips
|
||||
out the door with problems that make folks mad, we are now
|
||||
periodically producing interim <em>test</em> releases
|
||||
called snapshots. These snapshots will be very similar to
|
||||
full releases, except that they'll be somewhat more
|
||||
minimal. In particular, before getting and installing a
|
||||
snapshot release, be aware of following:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>We generally will not, for example, produce new
|
||||
XFree86 distributions or worry much about the tools
|
||||
directory, unless either of those two things are affected
|
||||
by the changes being tested.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The major release number will not be changed in the
|
||||
main distribution for each snapshot. It will
|
||||
<em>only</em> be changed on the boot floppies so that you
|
||||
know when the snapshot was made. These are <em>not</em>
|
||||
releases, these are <em>snapshots</em>, and it's
|
||||
important that this distinction be preserved. People can
|
||||
and will, of course, refer to snapshots by date in mail
|
||||
or netnews, we just don't want them to start thinking
|
||||
that Christmas came early and the next release is already
|
||||
out!
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Finally, we will not necessarily update the
|
||||
documentation. If a README still refers to a previous release,
|
||||
well, that's much less important to than getting the
|
||||
real bug fixes and new features out for testing. Complaints
|
||||
about that kind of thing will be quietly ignored. Again,
|
||||
these are <em>snapshots</em>, not releases!
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your feedback on these snapshots is, of course, greatly
|
||||
welcome. They're not just for our benefit - those who are
|
||||
coming to rely on FreeBSD for mission critical
|
||||
applications should welcome a chance to get at more updated
|
||||
bits in a structured fashion. You can also use these
|
||||
snapshots as tangible evidence that your feedback is
|
||||
getting incorporated and that you (hopefully) won't have
|
||||
any unpleasant surprises in the next release. On the other hand, if
|
||||
you do send us hate mail next release and it turns out that you
|
||||
never even tried the snapshots, well, it cuts both ways!
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Where to find snapshots</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Snapshots are available via anonymous from <a
|
||||
href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/</a>.
|
||||
The snapshot releases are in directories named in the
|
||||
format <b>REL-YYMMDD-SNAP</b> where `<b>REL</b>' is the
|
||||
release number, `<b>YY</b>' is the year, `<b>MM</b>' is
|
||||
the month, and `<b>DD</b>' is the day the snapshot was
|
||||
released. Each snapshot directory contains a
|
||||
`<b>README</b>' file which outlines the changes for the
|
||||
particular snapshot.</p>

counted as relevant, only one of the word has to appear

in a message. To find only messages with all three

words, change the search to "<tt>quantum and hard and

|

|

<li>If you still get lots of irrelevant messages, see if

they have something in common. If so, you can exclude

them with the <tt>not</tt> operator. For example
|

"<tt>quantum and hard and drives not ide</tt>" will

<H3>By Jerry Kendall</H3>
|
||||
<H3>(<a href="mailto:jerry@kcis.com">jerry@kcis.com</a>)</H3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With the help of some 'friends' on the FreeBSD-hackers list, I have
|
||||
been able to create a diskless X terminal... The creation of the X terminal
|
||||
required first creating a diskless system with minimal utilities mounted
|
||||
via NFS. These same steps were used to create 2 seperate diskless systems.
|
||||
The first is 'altair.kcis.com'. A diskless X terminal that I run on my
|
||||
old 386DX-40. It has a 340Meg hard disk but, I did not want to change it.
|
||||
So, it boots from 'antares.kcis.com' across a ethernet. The second system
|
||||
is a 486DX2-66. I setup a diskless FreeBSD (complete) that uses no local
|
||||
disk. The server in that case is a Sun 670MP running
|
||||
SunOS 4.1.3. The same setup configuration was needed for both.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
NOTE: I am sure that there is stuff that needs to be added to this. Please send me any comments....
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Creating the boot floppy (On the diskless system)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since the network boot loaders will not work with some of
|
||||
the TSR's and such that MS-DOS uses, it is best to create
|
||||
a dedicated boot floppy OR, if you can, create an MS-DOS menu
|
||||
that will (via the config.sys/autoexec.bat files) ask what
|
||||
configuration to load when the system starts. The later is the
|
||||
method that I use and it works great. My MS-DOS (6.x) menu is below.</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
---- config.sys ----
|
||||
[menu]
|
||||
menuitem=normal, normal
|
||||
menuitem=unix, unix
|
||||
[normal]
|
||||
....
|
||||
normal config.sys stuff
|
||||
...
|
||||
[unix]
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
---- autoexec.bat ----
|
||||
@ECHO OFF
|
||||
goto %config%
|
||||
|
||||
:normal
|
||||
...
|
||||
normal autoexec.bat stuff
|
||||
...
|
||||
goto end
|
||||
|
||||
:unix
|
||||
cd \netboot
|
||||
nb8390.com
|
||||
|
||||
:end
|
||||
----</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Getting the network boot programs (On the server)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Compile the 'net-boot' programs that are located in
|
||||
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/netboot. You should read the comments
|
||||
at the top of the makefile. Adjust as required. !!!! make a
|
||||
backup of the original in case it gets fobar'd !!! When the build
|
||||
is done, there should be 2 MS-DOS executables, 'nb8390.com' and
|
||||
'nb3c509.com'. One of these two programs will be what you need
|
||||
to run on the diskless server. It will load the kernel from the
|
||||
boot server. At this point, put both programs on the MS-DOS
|
||||
boot floppy created earlier.
|

|
||||
<h2>Determine which program to run (On the diskless system)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you know the chipset that your ethernet adapter uses, this is
|
||||
easy. If you have the NS8390 chipset, or a NS8390 based chipset,
|
||||
use NB8390.COM. If you have a 3Com 509 based chipset, use the
|
||||
NB3C509.COM boot program. If you are not sure which you have,
|
||||
try using one, if it says 'No adapter found', try the other.
|
||||
Beyond that, you are pretty much on your own.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Booting across the network</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Boot the diskless system with out any config.sys/autoexec.bat
|
||||
files. try running the boot program for your ethernet adapter.</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
My ethernet adapter is running in WD8013 16bit mode so
|
||||
I run NB8390.COM
|
||||
|
||||
C:> cd \netboot
|
||||
C:> nb8390
|
||||
|
||||
Boot from Network (Y/N) ? Y
|
||||
|
||||
BOOTP/TFTP/NFS bootstrap loader ESC for menu
|
||||
|
||||
Searching for adapter..
|
||||
WD8013EBT base 0x0300, memory 0x000D8000, addr 00:40:01:43:26:66
|
||||
|
||||
Searching for server..</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At this point, my diskless system is trying to find a machine to act
|
||||
as a boot server. Make note of the addr line above, you will need this
|
||||
number later. Reset the diskless system and modify your config.sys and
|
||||
autoexec.bat files to do these steps automatically for you. Perhaps in
|
||||
a menu. If you had to run 'nb3c509.com' instead of 'nb8390.com' the
|
||||
output is the same as above. If you got 'No adapter found' at the
|
||||
'Searching for adapter..' message, verify that you did indeed set the
|
||||
compile time defines in the makefile correctly.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Allowing systems to boot across the network (On the
|
||||
server)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Make sure the /etc/inetd.conf file has entries for tftp and bootps.
|
||||
Mine are listed below:</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
---- /etc/inetd.conf ----
|
||||
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Additions by who ever you are
|
||||
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab
|
||||
----
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>If you have to change the /etc/inetd.conf file, send a HUP signal to
|
||||
inetd. To do this, get the process ID of inetd with 'ps -ax | grep
|
||||
inetd | grep -v grep'. Once you have it, send it a HUP signal. Do this
|
||||
by 'kill -HUP <pid>'. This will force inetd to re-read its config file.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Did you remember to note the 'addr' line from the output of the boot
|
||||
loader on the diskless system???? Guess what, here is where you need it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Add an entry to /etc/bootptab (maybe creating the file). It should be
|
||||
laid out identical to this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
altair:\

:gw=199.246.76.1:\
|

The lines are as follows:

'altair' the diskless systems name without the domain name.
|
||||
'ht=ether' the hardware type of 'ethernet'.
|
||||
'ha=004001432666' the hardware address (the number noted above).
|
||||
'sm=255.255.255.0' the subnet mask.
|
||||
'hn' tells server to send client's hostname to the client.
|
||||
'ds=199.246.76.1' tells the client who the domain server is.
|
||||
'ip=199.246.76.2' tells the client what it's IP address is.

|

<p>The line 'rootfs 199.246.76.1:/DiskLess/rootfs/altair' tells the

<!-- Recently, I wanted to figure out how to use some additional fonts that
|
||||
I had accumulated. I finally figured out *how to do it* from the various
|
||||
man pages and documentation. Since it might be of use to other users,
|
||||
and I didn't see any reference to this topic in the FAQ or handbook, I
|
||||
thought I'd try my hand at a simple cookbook tutorial addressing the
|
||||
use of fonts. I have included my unanswered questions at the end of
|
||||
the document.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, here's what I put together. This is my present understanding of
|
||||
fonts and how to use them with FreeBSD. I am sure that there are errors or
|
||||
misunderstandings, but it contains enough valid information to allow the
|
||||
use of additional fonts with Ghostscript, X11 and Groff. This is my first
|
||||
attempt to write anything along the lines of a tutorial/FAQ, so I am sure
|
||||
it is pretty raw. There are probably better ways to do some of this stuff,
|
||||
and I would welcome being corrected.

<title>Fonts and FreeBSD — A Tutorial
|
||||
<author>Dave Bodenstab, <imdave@synet.net>
|
||||
<date>Wed Aug 7, 1996
|
||||
<abstract>
|
||||
This document contains a description of the various font files that may
|
||||
be used with FreeBSD and the syscons driver, X11, Ghostscript and Groff.
|
||||
Cookbook examples are provided for switching the syscons display to
|
||||
80x60 mode, and for using type 1 fonts with the above application programs.
|
||||
</abstract>
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are many sources of fonts available, and one might ask how they might
|
||||
be used with FreeBSD.
|
||||
The answer can be found by carefully searching the documentation for the
|
||||
component that one would like to use.
|
||||
This is very time consuming, so this tutorial is an attempt to provide a shortcut
|
||||
for others who might be interested.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Basic terminology
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are many different font formats and associated font file suffixes.
|
||||
A few that will be addressed here are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/.pfa .pfb/ Postscript type 1 fonts. The <em/.pfa/ is the <bf/A/scii form
|
||||
and <em/.pfb/ the <bf/B/inary form.
|
||||
<tag/.afm/ The font metrics associated with a type 1 font.
|
||||
<tag/.pfm/ The printer font metrics associated with a type 1 font.
|
||||
<tag/.ttf/ A TrueType font
|
||||
<tag/.fot/ An indirect reference to a TrueType font (not an actual font)
|
||||
<tag/.fon .fnt/ Bitmapped screen fonts
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <em/.fot/ file is used by Windows as sort of a symbolic link to the actual
|
||||
TrueType font (<em/.ttf/) file. The <em/.fon/ font files are also used by Windows.
|
||||
I know of no way to use this font format with FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>What font formats can I use?
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Which font file format is useful depends on the application being used.
|
||||
FreeBSD by itself uses no fonts. Application programs and/or drivers may
|
||||
make use of the font files. Here is a small cross reference of
|
||||
application/driver to the font type suffixes:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/Driver/
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/syscons/ .fnt
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/Application/
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/Ghostscript/ <em/.pfa/ <em/.pfb/ <em/.ttf/
|
||||
<tag/X11/ <em/.pfa/ <em/.pfb/
|
||||
<tag/Groff/ <em/.pfa/ <em/.afm/
|
||||
<tag/Povray/ <em/.ttf/
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <em/.fnt/ suffix is used quite frequently. I suspect that whenever someone
|
||||
wanted to create a specialized font file for their application, more often
|
||||
than not they chose this suffix. Therefore, it is likely that files with
|
||||
this suffix are not all the same format; specifically, the <em/.fnt/ files used
|
||||
by syscons under FreeBSD may not be the same format as a <em/.fnt/ file one
|
||||
encounters in the MSDOS/Windows environment. I have not made any attempt
|
||||
at using other <em/.fnt/ files other than those provided with FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Setting a virtual console to 80x60 line mode
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, a 8x8 font must be loaded. <tt>/etc/sysconfig</tt> should contain the lines:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Choose font 8x8 from /usr/share/syscons/fonts/* (or NO for default)
|
||||
font8x8=/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-8x8.fnt
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The command to actually switch the mode is <em/vidcontrol/(1):
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
bash$ vidcontrol VGA_80x60
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Various screen orientated programs, such as <em/vi/(1), must be able to determine
|
||||
the current screen dimensions. These can be set with <em/stty/(1):
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
bash$ stty crt rows 60 columns 80
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To make this more seamless, one can embed these commands in the startup
|
||||
scripts so it takes place when the system boots. One way to do this is:
|
||||
|
||||
<enum>
|
||||
<item> Modify <tt>/etc/sysconfig</tt> as above
|
||||
<item> Add to <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt>:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
for tty in /dev/ttyv?
|
||||
do
|
||||
vidcontrol VGA_80x60 <$tty >/dev/null 2>&1
|
||||
done
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<item> Add to <tt>/etc/profile</tt>:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
TTYNAME=`basename \`tty\``
|
||||
if expr "$TTYNAME" : 'ttyv' >/dev/null
|
||||
then
|
||||
stty crt rows 60 columns 80
|
||||
fi
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
</enum>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
References: <em/stty/(1), <em/vidcontrol/(1)
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Using type 1 fonts with X11
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
X11 can use either the <em/.pfa/ or the <em/.pfb/ format fonts. The X11 fonts are
|
||||
located in various subdirectories under <tt>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</tt>. Each
|
||||
font file is cross referenced to
|
||||
its X11 name by the contents of the <tt/fonts.dir/ file in each directory.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is already a directory named <tt/Type1/.
|
||||
The most straight forward way to add a
|
||||
new font is to put it into this directory. A better way is to keep all new
|
||||
fonts in a separate directory and use a symbolic link to the additional
|
||||
font. This allows one to more easily keep track of ones fonts without
|
||||
confusing them with the fonts that were originally provided. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Create a directory to contain the font files
|
||||
bash$ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fonts/type1
|
||||
bash$ cd /usr/local/share/fonts/type1
|
||||
|
||||
# Place the .pfa, .pfb and .afm files here
|
||||
# One might want to keep readme files, and other documentation
|
||||
# for the fonts here also
|
||||
bash$ cp /cdrom/fonts/atm/showboat/showboat.pfb .
|
||||
bash$ cp /cdrom/fonts/atm/showboat/showboat.afm .
|
||||
|
||||
# Maintain an index to cross reference the fonts
|
||||
bash$ echo showboat - InfoMagic CICA, Dec 1994, /fonts/atm/showboat >>INDEX
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now, to use a new font with X11, one must make the font file available and
|
||||
update the font name files. The X11 font names look like:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
-bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal-xxx-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
||||
| | | | | | | | | | | | \ \
|
||||
| | | | | \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +----+- character set
|
||||
| | | | \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +- average width
|
||||
| | | | \ \ \ \ \ \ +- spacing
|
||||
| | | \ \ \ \ \ \ +- vertical res.
|
||||
| | | \ \ \ \ \ +- horizontal res.
|
||||
| | | \ \ \ \ +- points
|
||||
| | | \ \ \ +- pixels
|
||||
| | | \ \ \
|
||||
foundry family weight slant width additional style
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A new name needs to be created for each new font. If you have some information
|
||||
from the documentation that accompanied the font, then it could serve as the basis
|
||||
for creating the name. If there is no information, then you can get some idea
|
||||
by using <em/strings/(1) on the font file. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
bash$ strings showboat.pfb | more
|
||||
%!FontType1-1.0: Showboat 001.001

<p>
|

Using this information, a possible name might be:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
-type1-Showboat-medium-r-normal-decorative-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
The components of our name are:
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
<item>Foundry - lets just name all the new fonts <tt/type1/.
|
||||
<item>Family - the name of the font.
|
||||
<item>Weight - normal, bold, medium, semibold, etc. From the <em/strings/(1) output
|
||||
above, it appears that this font has a weight of <em/medium/.
|
||||
<item>Slant - <bf/r/oman, <bf/i/talic, <bf/o/blique, etc. Since the <em/ItalicAngle/
|
||||
is zero, <em/roman/ will be used.
|
||||
<item>Width - normal, wide, condensed, extended, etc. Until it can be examined,
|
||||
the assumption will be <em/normal/.
|
||||
<item>Additional style - usually omitted, but this will indicate that
|
||||
the font contains decorative capital letters.
|
||||
<item>Spacing - proportional or monospaced. <em/Proportional/ is used since <em/isFixedPitch/ is false.
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
All of these names are arbitrary, but one should strive to be compatible
|
||||
with the existing conventions. A font is referenced by name with possible
|
||||
wild cards by an X11 program, so the name chosen should make some sense.
|
||||
One might begin by simply using
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tt/...-normal-r-normal-...-p-.../
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
as the name,
|
||||
and then use <em/xfontsel/(1) to examine it and adjust the name based on
|
||||
the appearance of the font.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
So, to complete our example:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Make the font accessible to X11
|
||||
bash$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
|
||||
bash$ ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.pfb .
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit fonts.dir and fonts.scale, adding the line describing the font
|
||||
# and incrementing the number of fonts which is found on the first line.
|
||||
bash$ ex fonts.dir
|
||||
:1p
|
||||
25
|
||||
:1c
|
||||

|
||||
:$a
|
||||
showboat.pfb -type1-showboat-medium-r-normal-decorative-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
||||
.
|
||||
:wq
|
||||
|
||||
# fonts.scale seems to be identical to fonts.dir...
|
||||
bash$ cp fonts.dir fonts.scale
|
||||
|
||||
# Tell X11 that things have changed
|
||||
bash$ xset fp rehash
|
||||
|
||||
# Examine the new font
|
||||
bash$ xfontsel -pattern -type1-*
|

<sect>Using type 1 fonts with Ghostscript
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Ghostscript references a font via its <tt/Fontmap/ file. This must be modified
|
||||
in a similar way to the X11 <tt/fonts.dir/ file. Ghostscript can use either the
|
||||
<em/.pfa/ or the <em/.pfb/ format fonts. Using the font from the previous example,
|
||||
here is how to use it with Ghostscript:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Put the font in Ghostscript's font directory
|
||||
bash$ cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
|
||||
bash$ ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.pfb .
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit Fontmap so Ghostscript knows about the font
|
||||
bash$ cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript/4.01
|
||||
bash$ ex Fontmap
|
||||
:$a
|
||||
/Showboat (showboat.pfb) ; % From CICA /fonts/atm/showboat
|
||||
.
|
||||
:wq
|
||||
|

# Use Ghostscript to examine the font

<sect>Using type 1 fonts with Groff
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now that the new font can be used by both X11 and Ghostscript, how can one
|
||||
use the new font with groff? First of all, since we are dealing with type 1
|
||||
postscript fonts, the groff device that is applicable is the <em/ps/ device.
|
||||
A font file must be created for each font that groff can use. A groff font
|
||||
name is just a file in <tt>/usr/share/groff_font/devps</tt>. With our example, the
|
||||
font file could be <tt>/usr/share/groff_font/devps/SHOWBOAT</tt>. The file must be
|
||||
created using tools provided by groff.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The first tool is <em/afmtodit/. This is not normally installed, so it must be
|
||||
retrieved from the source distribution. I found I had to change the first
|
||||
line of the file, so I did:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
bash$ cp /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/afmtodit/afmtodit.pl /tmp
|
||||
bash$ ex /tmp/afmtodit.pl
|
||||
:1c
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/perl -P-
|
||||
.
|
||||
:wq
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This tool will create the groff font file from the metrics file (<em/.afm/ suffix.)
|
||||
Continuing with our example:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Many .afm files are in Mac format... ^M delimited lines
|
||||
# We need to convert them to unix style ^J delimited lines
|
||||
bash$ cd /tmp
|
||||
bash$ cat /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.afm |
|
||||
tr '\015' '\012' >showboat.afm
|
||||
|
||||
# Now create the groff font file
|
||||
bash$ cd /usr/share/groff_font/devps
|
||||
bash$ /tmp/afmtodit.pl -d DESC -e text.enc /tmp/showboat.afm generate/textmap SHOWBOAT
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The font can now be referenced with the name SHOWBOAT.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If ghostscript is used to drive the printers on the system, then nothing
|
||||
more needs to be done. However, if true postscript printers are used, then
|
||||
the font must be down loaded to the printer in order for the font to be used
|
||||
(unless the printer happens to have the showboat font built in or on an
|
||||
accessible font disk.) The final step is to create a down loadable font.
|
||||
The <em/pfbtops/ tool is used to create the <em/.pfa/ format of the font, and the
|
||||
<tt/download/ file is modified to reference the new font. The <tt/download/ file
|
||||
must reference the internal name of the font. This can easily be determined
|
||||
from the groff font file as illustrated:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Create the .pfa font file
|
||||
bash$ pfbtops /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.pfb >showboat.pfa
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Of course, if the <em/.pfa/ file is already available, just use a symbolic link
|
||||
to reference it.
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# Get the internal font name
|
||||
bash$ fgrep internalname SHOWBOAT
|
||||
internalname Showboat
|
||||
|
||||
# Tell groff that the font must be down loaded
|
||||
bash$ ex download
|
||||
:$a
|
||||
Showboat showboat.pfa
|
||||
.
|
||||
:wq
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To test the font:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
bash$ cd /tmp
|
||||
bash$ cat >example.t <<EOF
|
||||
.sp 5
|
||||
.ps 16
|
||||
This is an example of the Showboat font:
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.ps 48
|
||||
.vs (\n(.s+2)p
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
.ft SHOWBOAT

.sp
|
||||
.ps 16
|
||||
.vs (\n(.s+2)p
|
||||
.fp 5 SHOWBOAT
|
||||
.ft R
|
||||
To use it for the first letter of a paragraph, it will look like:
|
||||
.sp 50p
|
||||
\s(48\f5H\s0\fRere is the first sentence of a paragraph that uses the
|
||||
showboat font as its first letter.
|
||||
Additional vertical space must be used to allow room for the larger
|
||||
letter.

<sect>Can TrueType fonts be used?
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The TrueType font format is used by Windows, Windows 95, Mac's,... It is
|
||||
quite popular and there are a great number of fonts available in this format.
|
||||
Unfortunately, there are only two applications that I am aware of that can
|
||||
use this format: Ghostscript and povray. Ghostscript's support, according
|
||||
to the documentation, is rudimentary and the results are likely to be inferior
|
||||
to type 1 fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
However, groff would need a font description file, and I know of no tools
|
||||
to construct the metrics from a TrueType font. In addition, the font would
|
||||
have to be down loaded to postscript printers in the appropriate format,
|
||||
and again, groff cannot handle TrueType fonts in this fashion.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
X11 has no support for TrueType fonts that I am aware of.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The only program that I know of that has the ability to use TrueType fonts
|
||||
is povray version 3, but I rather doubt many people will be creating documents
|
||||
as a series of raytraced pages! :-)
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Where can additional fonts be obtained?
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Many fonts are available on the Internet. They are either entirely
|
||||
free, or are share-ware. In addition, there are many inexpensive CDROMs
|
||||
available that contain many fonts. Some Internet locations (as of August
|
||||
1996) are:

Okay I've diverged from my original plan on the handbook and condensed it a

bit. If I find some time I am going to start working on something about how

to use sendmail, since I imagine that would be a bit more useful. Here is my

<!-- This section is here to explain the philosophy behind MH Also
|
||||
make sure that the user has installed the mh package -->
|
||||
MH started back in 1977 at the RAND Corporation, where the initial
|
||||
philosophies behind MH were developed. MH isn't so much a monolithic
|
||||
email program but a philosophy about how best to develop tools for
|
||||
reading email. The MH developers have done a great job adhering to the
|
||||
KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid. Rather than have one large
|
||||
program for reading, sending and handling email they have written
|
||||
specialized programs for each part of your email life. One might liken
|
||||
MH to the specialization that one finds in insects and nature. Each
|
||||
tool in MH does one thing, and does it very well.
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond just the various tools that one uses to handle their email MH
|
||||
has done an excellent job keeping the configuration of each of these
|
||||
tools consistent and uniform. In fact, if you are not quite sure how
|
||||
something is supposed to work or what the arguments for some command
|
||||
are supposed to be then you can generally guess and be right. Each MH
|
||||
command is consistent about how it handles reading the configuration
|
||||
files and how it takes arguments on the command line. One useful thing
|
||||
to remember is that you can always add a <tt/-help/ to the command to
|
||||
have it display the options for that command.
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you have
|
||||
installed the MH package on your FreeBSD machine. If you installed
|
||||
from CDROM you should be able to execute the following to load mh:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
pkg_add /cdrom/packages/mh-6.8.3.tgz
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
You will notice that it created a /usr/local/lib/mh directory for you
|
||||
as well as adding several binaries to the /usr/local/bin directory. If
|
||||
you would prefer to compile it yourself then you can anonymous ftp it
|
||||
from <url url="ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/" name="ftp.ics.uci.edu"> or <url
|
||||
url="ftp://louie.udel.edu/" name="louie.udel.edu">.
|
||||
|
||||
This primer is not a full comprehensive explanation of how MH
|
||||
works. This is just intended to get you started on the road to
|
||||
happier, faster mail reading. You should read the man pages for the
|
||||
various commands. Also you might want to read the <url
|
||||
url="news:comp.mail.mh" name="comp.mail.mh"> newsgroup. Also you can
|
||||
read the <url
|
||||
url="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/mh-faq/part1/faq.html"
|
||||
name="FAQ"> for MH. The best resource for MH is the O'Reilly and
|
||||
Associates book written by Jerry Peek.

<!-- This section covers how to use inc, msgchk, next, prev, rmm, and rmf -->
|
||||
This section covers how to use <tt/inc/, <tt/show/, <tt/scan/,
|
||||
<tt/next/, <tt/prev/, <tt/rmm/, <tt/rmf/, and <tt/msgchk/.
|
||||
One of the best things about MH is the consistent interface between
|
||||
programs. A few things to keep in mind when using these commands is
|
||||
how to specify message lists. In the case of <em/inc/ this doesn't
|
||||
really make any sense but with commands like <em/show/ it is useful to
|
||||
know.
|
||||
|
||||
A message list can consist of something like <tt/23 20 16/ which will
|
||||
act on messages 23, 20 and 16. This is fairly simple but you can do
|
||||
more useful things like <tt/23-30/ which will act on all the messages
|
||||
between 23 and 30. You can also specify something like <tt/cur:10/
|
||||
which will act on the current message and the next 9 messages. The
|
||||
<tt/cur/, <tt/last/, and <tt/first/ messages are special messages that
|
||||
refer to the current, last or first message in the folder.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>inc, msgchk - read in your new email or check it<label id="inc"></>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you just type in <em>inc</em> and hit return you will be well on your
|
||||
way to getting started with MH. The first time you run <em>inc</em> it
|
||||
will setup your account to use all the MH defaults and ask you about

This is the same thing you will see from a ``<ref id="scan">''. If you
|
||||
just run <em>inc</em> with no arguments it will look on your computer for email
|
||||
that is supposed to be coming to you.
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of people like to use POP for grabbing their email. MH can do
|
||||
POP to grab your email. You will need to give <em>inc</em> a few command
|
||||
line arguments.
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
inc -host mail.pop.org -user username -norpop
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
That tells <em>inc</> to go to <bf/mail.pop.org/ to download your
|
||||
email, and that your username on their system is <bf/username/. The
|
||||
<tt>-norpop</tt> option tells <em>inc</em> to use plain POP3 for
|
||||
downloading your email. MH has support for a few different dialects of
|
||||
POP. More than likely you will never ever need to use them
|
||||
though. While you can do more complex things with inc such as audit
|
||||
files and scan format files this will get you going.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/msgchk/ command is used to get information on whether or not
|
||||
you have new email. <em/msgchk/ takes the same <tt/-host/ and
|
||||
<tt/-user/ options that <em/inc/ takes.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>show, next and prev - displaying and moving through emails
|
||||
<label id="show"></>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em/show/ is to show a letter in your current folder. Like inc,
|
||||
<em/show/ is a fairly straightfoward command. If you just type
|
||||
<em/show/ and hit return then it displays the current message. You can
|
||||
also give specific message numbers to show:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
show 32 45 56
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
This would display message numbers 32, 45 and 56 right after each
|
||||
other. Unless you change the default behavior <em/show/ basically just
|
||||
does a more on the email message.
|
||||
|
||||
<em/next/ is used to move onto the next message and <em/prev/ will go
|
||||
to the previous message. Both commands have an implied <em/show/
|
||||
command so that when you go to the next message it automatically
|
||||
displays it.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>scan - shows you a scan of your messages<label id="scan"></>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<em/scan/ will display a brief listing of the messages in your current
|
||||
folder. This is an example of what the <em/scan/ command will give you.

|
||||
Like just about everything in MH this display is very
|
||||
configurable. This is the typical default display. It gives you the
|
||||
message number, the date on the email, the sender, the subject line,
|
||||
and a sentence fragment from the very beginning of the email if it can
|
||||
fit it. The + means that message is the current message, so if you do
|
||||
a <em/show/ it will display that message.
|
||||
|
||||
One useful option for scan is the <tt/-reverse/ option. This will list
|
||||
your messages with the highest message number first and lowest message
|
||||
number last. Another useful option with <em/scan/ is to to have it
|
||||
read from a file. If you want to scan your incoming mailbox on FreeBSD
|
||||
without having to <em/inc/ it you can do <tt>scan -file
|
||||
/var/mail/username</tt>. This can be used with any file that is in the
|
||||
<bf/mbox/ format.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>rmm and rmf - remove the current message or folder
|
||||
<label id="rmm"></>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em/rmm/ is used to remove a mail message. The default is typically to
|
||||
not actually remove the message but to rename the file to one that is
|
||||
ignored by the MH commands. You will need to through periodically and
|
||||
physically delete the "removed" messages.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/rmf/ command is used to remove folders. This doesn't just
|
||||
rename the files but actually removes the from the hard drive so you
|
||||
should be careful when you use this command.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>A typical session of reading with MH<label id="samplereading"></>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The first thing that you will want to do is <em/inc/ your new mail. So
|
||||
at a shell prompt just type in <em/inc/ and hit return.

|
||||
Then if I wanted to read message number 27 I would do a <tt/show 27/
|
||||
and it would be displayed. As you can probably tell from this sample
|
||||
session MH is pretty easy to use and looking through emails and
|
||||
displaying them is fairly intuitive and easy.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Folders and Mail Searching
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Anybody who gets lots of email definately wants to be able to
|
||||
prioritize, stamp, brief, de-brief, and number their emails in a
|
||||
variety of different ways. MH can do this better than just about
|
||||
anything. One thing that we haven't really talked about is the concept
|
||||
of folders. You have undoubtedly come across the folders concept using
|
||||
other email programs. MH has folders too. MH can even do sub-folders
|
||||
of a folder. One thing you should keep in mind with MH is that when
|
||||
you ran <em/inc/ for the first time and it asked you if it could
|
||||
create a Mail directory it began storing everything in that
|
||||
directory. If you look at that directory you will find a directory
|
||||
named <bf/inbox/. The <bf/inbox/ directory houses all of your incoming
|
||||
mail that hasn't been thrown anywhere else.
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever you create a new folder a new directory is going to be
|
||||
created underneath your MH Mail directory, and messages in that folder
|
||||
are going to be stored in that directory. When new email comes in that
|
||||
new email is thrown into your inbox directory with a file name that is
|
||||
equivalent to the message number. So even if you didn't have any of
|
||||
the MH tools to read your email you could still use standard unix
|
||||
commands to munge around in those directories and just more your
|
||||
files. It's this simplicity that really gives you a lot of power with
|
||||
what you can do with your email.
|
||||
|
||||
Just as you can use message lists like <tt/23 16 42/ with most MH
|
||||
commands there is a folder option you can specify with just about
|
||||
every MH command. If you do a <tt/scan +freebsd/ it will scan your
|
||||
freebsd folder, and your current folder will be changed to freebsd. If
|
||||
you do a <tt/show +freebsd 23 16 42/ <em/show/ is going to switch to
|
||||
your freebsd folder and display messages 23, 16 and 42. So remember
|
||||
that +folder syntax. You will need to make sure you use it to make
|
||||
commands process different folders. Remember you default folder for
|
||||
mail is inbox so doing a <tt/folder +inbox/ should always get you back
|
||||
to your mail. Of course, in MH's infinite flexibility this can be
|
||||
changed but most places have probably left it as inbox.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- This section covers how to use pick, folder{s}, and slocal
|
||||
This needs to cover the general +folder format and an overview on the
|
||||
directory structure here. -->
|
||||
<sect1>pick - search email that matches certain criteria
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em/pick/ is one of the more complex commands in the MH system. So you
|
||||
might want to read the pick man page for a more thorough
|
||||
understanding. At its simplest level you can do something like
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
tempest% pick -search pci
|
||||
15
|
||||
42
|
||||
55
|
||||
56
|
||||
57
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
This will tell <em/pick/ to look through every single line in every
|
||||
message in your current folder and tell you which message numbers it
|
||||
found the word pci in. You can then <em/show/ those messages and read
|
||||
them if you wish or <em/rmm/ them. You would have to specify something
|
||||
like <tt/show 15 42 55-57/ to display them though. A slightly more
|
||||
useful thing to do is this:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
tempest% pick -search pci -seq pick
|
||||
5 hits
|
||||
tempest% show pick
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
This will show you the same messages you just didn't have to work as
|
||||
hard to do it. The <tt/-seq/ option is really an abbreviation of
|
||||
<tt/-sequence/ and <bf/pick/ is just a sequence which contains the
|
||||
message numbers that matched. You can use sequences with just about
|
||||
any MH command. So you could have done an <tt/rmm pick/ and all those
|
||||
messages would be removed instead. You sequence can be named
|
||||
anything. If you run pick again it will overwrite the old sequence if
|
||||
you use the same name.
|
||||
|
||||
Doing a <tt/pick -search/ can be a bit more time consuming than just
|
||||
searching for message from someone, or to someone. So <em/pick/ allows
|
||||
you to use the following predefined search criteria:
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
<item><tt/-to/ search based upon who the message is to
|
||||
<item><tt/-cc/ search based on who is in the cc list
|
||||
<item><tt/-from/ search for who sent the message
|
||||
<item><tt/-subject/ search for emails with this subject
|
||||
<item><tt/-date/ find emails with a matching dat
|
||||
<item><tt>--<em>component</em></tt> search for any other component in
|
||||
the header. (i.e. --reply-to to find all emails with a certain
|
||||
reply-to in the header)
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
This allows you to do things like
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
pick -to freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org -seq hackers
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
to get a list of all the email send to the FreeBSD hackers mailing
|
||||
list. <em/pick/ also allows you to group these criteria in differents
|
||||
ways using the following options:
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
<item>... <tt/-and/ ...
|
||||
<item>... <tt/-or/ ...
|
||||
<item><tt/-not/ ...
|
||||
<item><tt/-lbrace/ ... <tt/-rbrace/
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
These commands allow you to do things like
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
pick -to freebsd-hackers -and -cc freebsd-hackers
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
That will grab all the email in your inbox that was sent to
|
||||
freebsd-hackers or cc'd to that list. The brace options allow you to
|
||||
group search criteria together. This is sometimes very necessary as
|
||||
in the following example
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
pick -lbrace -to freebsd-hackers -and -not -cc freebsd-questions -rbrace
|
||||
-and -subject pci
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
Basically this says pick (to freebsd-hackers and not cc'd on
|
||||
freebsd-questions) and the subject is pci. It should look through your
|
||||
folder and find all messages send to the freebsd-hackers list that
|
||||
aren't cc'd to the freebsd-questions list that contain something on
|
||||
pci in the subject line. Ordinarily you might have to worry about
|
||||
something called operator precedence. Remember in math how you
|
||||
evaluate from left to right and you do multiplication and division
|
||||
first and addition and subtraction second? MH has the same type of
|
||||
rules for <em/pick/. It's fairly complex so you might want to study
|
||||
the man page. This document is just to help you get acquainted with
|
||||
MH.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>folder, folders, refile - three useful programs for folder maintenance
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are three programs which are primarily just for manipulating
|
||||
your folders. The <em/folder/ program is used to switch between
|
||||
folders, pack them, and list them. At its simplest level you can do a
|
||||
<tt/folder +newfolder/ and you will be switched into
|
||||
<bf/newfolder/. From there on out all your MH commands like <em/comp/,
|
||||
<em/repl/, <em/scan/, and <em/show/ will act on that <bf/newfolder/
|
||||
folder. Sometimes when you are reading and deleting messages you will
|
||||
develop ``holes'' in your folders.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do a <em/scan/ you might just see messages
|
||||
34, 35, 36, 43, 55, 56, 57, 80. If you do a <tt/folder -pack/ this
|
||||
will renumber all your messages so that there are no holes. It doesn't
|
||||
actually delete any messages though. So you may need to periodically
|
||||
go through and physically delete <em/rmm/'d messages.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need statistics on your folders you can do a <em/folders/ or
|
||||
<tt/folder -all/ to list all your folders, how many messages they
|
||||
have, what the current message is in each one and so on. This line of
|
||||
stats it displays for all your folders is the same one you get when
|
||||
you change to a folder with <tt/folder +foldername/. A <em/folders/
|
||||
command looks like this:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
Folder # of messages ( range ); cur msg (other files)
|
||||
announce has 1 message ( 1- 1).
|
||||
drafts has no messages.
|
||||
f-hackers has 43 messages ( 1- 43).
|
||||
f-questions has 16 messages ( 1- 16).
|
||||
inbox+ has 35 messages ( 1- 38); cur= 37.
|
||||
lists has 8 messages ( 1- 8).
|
||||
netfuture has 1 message ( 1- 1).
|
||||
out has 31 messages ( 1- 31).
|
||||
personal has 6 messages ( 1- 6).
|
||||
todo has 58 messages ( 1- 58); cur= 1.
|
||||
|
||||
TOTAL= 199 messages in 13 folders.
|
||||
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/refile/ command is what you use to move messages between
|
||||
folders. When you do something like <tt/refile 23 +netfuture/ message
|
||||
number 23 is moved into the netfuture folder. You could also do
|
||||
something like <tt/refile 23 +netfuture/latest/ which would put
|
||||
message number 23 in a subfolder called latest under the netfuture
|
||||
folder. If you want to keep a message in the current folder and link
|
||||
it you can do a <tt/refile -link 23 +netfuture/ which would keep 23 in
|
||||
your current inbox but also list in your netfuture folder. You are
|
||||
probably beginning to realize some of the really powerful things you
|
||||
can do with MH.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Sending Mail
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<!-- This section covers how to use comp, repl and forw -->
|
||||
Email is a two way street for most people so you want to be able to
|
||||
send something back. The way MH handles sending mail can be a bit
|
||||
difficult to follow at first, but it allows for incredible
|
||||
flexibility. The first thing MH does is to copy a components file into
|
||||
your outgoing email. A components file is basically a skeleton email
|
||||
letter with stuff like the To: and Subject: headers already in it.
|
||||
You are then sent into your editor where you fill in the header
|
||||
information and then type the body of your message below the dashed
|
||||
lines in the message. Then to the <em/whatnow/ program. When you are at the
|
||||
``What now?'' prompt you can tell it to <bf/send/, <bf/list/,
|
||||
<bf/edit/, <bf/edit/, <bf/push/, and <bf/quit/. Most of these commands
|
||||
are self-explanatory. So the message sending process involves copying
|
||||
a component file, editing your email, and then telling the
|
||||
<em/whatnow/ program what to do with your email.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>comp, forw, reply - compose, forward or reply to a message to someone</>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <em/comp/ program has a few useful command line options. The most
|
||||
important one to know right now is the <tt/-editor/ option. When MH is
|
||||
installed the default editor is usually a program called <em/prompter/
|
||||
which comes with MH. It's not a very exciting editor and basically
|
||||
just gets the job done. So when you go to compose a message to someone
|
||||
you might want to use <tt/comp -editor /usr/bin/vi/ or <tt/comp
|
||||
-editor /usr/local/bin/pico/ instead. Once you have run <em/comp/ you
|
||||
are in your editor and you see something that looks like this:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
To:
|
||||
cc:
|
||||
Subject:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
You need to put the person you are sending the mail to after the To:
|
||||
line. It works the same way for the other headers also, so you would
|
||||
need to put your subject after the Subject: line. Then you would just
|
||||
put the body of your message after the dashed lines. It may seem a bit
|
||||
simplistic since a lot of email programs have special requesters that
|
||||
ask you for this information but there really isn't any point to
|
||||
that. Plus this really gives you excellent flexibility.

|

Wow this is an amazing operating system. Thanks!

</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
You can now save this message and exit your editor. You will see the
|
||||
<tt/What now?/ prompt and you can type in <tt/send/ or <tt/s/ and hit
|
||||
return. Then the freebsd core team will receive their just rewards. As
|
||||
I mentioned earlier you can also send other commands, for example
|
||||
<tt/quit/ if you don't want to send the message.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/forw/ command is stunningly similar. The big difference
|
||||
being that the message you are forwarding is automatically included in
|
||||
the outgoing message. When you run <em/forw/ it will forward your
|
||||
current message. You can always tell it to forward something else by
|
||||
doing something like <tt/forw 23/ and then message number 23 will be
|
||||
put in your outgoing message instead of the current message. Beyond
|
||||
those small differences <em/forw/ functions exactly the same as
|
||||
<em/comp/. You go through the exact same message sending process.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/repl/ command will reply to whatever your current message is,
|
||||
unless you give it a different message to reply to. <em/repl/ will do
|
||||
its best to go ahead and fill in some of the email headers already. So
|
||||
you will notice that the To: header already has the address of the
|
||||
recipient in there. Also the Subject: line will already be filled
|
||||
in. You then go about the normal message composition process and you
|
||||
are done. One useful command line option to know here is the <tt/-cc/
|
||||
option. You can use <bf/all/, <bf/to/, <bf/cc/, <bf/me/ after the
|
||||
<tt/-cc/ option to have <em/repl/ automatically add the various
|
||||
addresses to the cc list in the message. You have probably noticed
|
||||
that the original message isn't included. This is because most MH
|
||||
setups are configured to do this from the start.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1> components, and replcomps - components files for comp and repl
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <em/components/ file is usually in <tt>/usr/local/lib/mh</tt>. You
|
||||
can copy that file into your MH Mail directory and edit to contain
|
||||
what you want it to contain. It is a fairly basic file. You have
|
||||
various email headers at the top, a dashed line and then nothing. The
|
||||
<em/comp/ command just copies this <em/components/ file and then edits
|
||||
it. You can any kind of valid RFC822 header you want. For instance you
|
||||
could have something like this in your <em/components/ file:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
To:
|
||||
Fcc: out
|
||||
Subject:
|
||||
X-Mailer: MH 6.8.3
|
||||
X-Home-Page: http://www.freebsd.org/
|
||||
-------
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
MH would then copy this components file and throw you into your
|
||||
editor. The <em/components/ file is fairly simple. If you wanted to
|
||||
have a signature on those messages you would just put your signature
|
||||
in that <em/components/ file.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em/replcomps/ file is a bit more complex. The default
|
||||
<em/replcomps/ looks like this:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
%(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%?{from}%?{sender}%?{return-path}%>)\
|
||||
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\
|
||||
%(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\
|
||||
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\
|
||||
%<{fcc}Fcc: %{fcc}\n%>\
|
||||
%<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\
|
||||
%<{date}In-reply-to: Your message of "\
|
||||
%<(nodate{date})%{date}%|%(pretty{date})%>."%<{message-id}
|
||||
%{message-id}%>\n%>\
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
It's in the same basic format as the <em/components/ file but it
|
||||
contains quite a few extra formatting codes. The %(lit) command makes
|
||||
room for the address. The %(formataddr is a function that returns a
|
||||
proper email address. The next part is %< which means if and the
|
||||
{reply-to} means the reply-to field in the original message. So that
|
||||
might be translated this way:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
%<<bf/if/ {reply-to} <bf/the original message has a reply-to/
|
||||
then give that to formataddr, %? <bf/else/ {from} <bf/take the
|
||||
from address/, %? <bf/else/ {sender} <bf/take the sender address/, %?
|
||||
<bf/else/ {return-path} <bf/take the return-path from the original
|
||||
message/, %> <bf/endif/.
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
As you can tell MH formatting can get rather involved. You can
|
||||
probably decipher what most of the other functions and variables
|
||||
mean. All of the information on writing these format strings is in the
|
||||
MH-Format man page. The really nice thing is that once you have built
|
||||
your customized <em/replcomps/ file you won't need to touch it
|
||||
again. No other email program really gives you the power and
|
||||
flexibility that MH gives you.

<sect>Overview
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most people can't fit these operating systems together comfortably
|
||||
without having a larger hard disk, so special information on large EIDE drives is included. Because there are so many combinations of possible operating systems and hard disk configurations, the <ref name="examples section" id="5"> may be of the most use to you. It contains descriptions of specific working computer setups that use multiple operating systems.
|
||||
<p>This document assumes that you have already made room on your hard disk
|
||||
for an additional operating system. Any time you repartition your hard
|
||||
drive, you run the risk of destroying the data on the original partitions. However, if your hard drive is completely occupied by DOS, you might find the FIPS utility (included on the FreeBSD CD-ROM in the \TOOLS directory or via ftp at <htmlurl
|
||||
url="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools" name="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools">) useful. It lets you repartition your hard disk without destroying the data already on it. There is also a commercial program available called
|
||||
Partition Magic, which lets you size and delete partitions without consequence.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Overview of Boot Managers
|
||||
|
||||
<label id="2"><p>These are just brief descriptions of some of the different boot managers you may encounter. Depending on your computer setup, you may find it useful to use more than one of them on the same system.
|
||||
<p>Boot Easy: This is the default boot manager used with FreeBSD. It has
|
||||
the ability to boot most anything, including BSD, OS/2 (HPFS), Windows 95 (FAT and FAT32**), and Linux. Partitions are selected with the function keys.
|
||||
<p>OS/2 Boot Manager: This will boot FAT, HPFS, FFS (FreeBSD), and EXT2
|
||||
(Linux). It will also boot FAT32** partitions. Partitions are selected using arrow keys. The OS/2 Boot Manager is the only one to use its own separate partition, unlike the others which
|
||||
use the master boot record (MBR). Therefore, it must be installed below the 1024th cylinder to avoid booting problems. It can boot Linux using LILO when it is part of the boot sector, not the MBR. Go to
|
||||
<htmlurl url="http://www.ssc.com/linux/howto.html" name="http://www.ssc.com/linux/howto.html"> on the World Wide Web for more information on booting Linux with OS/2's boot manager.
|
||||
<p>OS-BS: This is an alternative to Boot Easy. It gives you more control
|
||||
over the booting process, with the ability to set the default partition to boot and the booting timeout. The 'beta' version of this programs allows you to boot by selecting the OS with
|
||||
your arrow keys. It is included on the FreeBSD CD in the \TOOLS directory, and via ftp at <htmlurl url="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools" name="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools">
|
||||
<p>LILO, or LInux LOader: This is a limited boot manager. Will boot
|
||||
FreeBSD, though some customization work is required in the LILO configuration file.
|
||||
<p>** FAT32 is the replacement to the FAT filesystem included in
|
||||
Microsoft's OEM SR2 Beta release, which is expected to utilitized on computers pre-loaded with Windows 95 towards the end of 1996. It converts the normal FAT file system and allows you to use smaller cluster sizes for larger hard drives. FAT32 also modifies the traditional FAT boot sector and allocation table,
|
||||
making it incompatible with some boot managers.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>A Typical Installation
|
||||
|
||||
<label id="3"><P>Let's say I have two large EIDE hard drives, and I want to install FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows 95 on them.
|
||||
<P>Here's how I might do it using these hard disks:
|
||||
<enum>
|
||||
<item>/dev/wd0 (first physical hard disk)
|
||||
<item>/dev/wd1 (second hard disk)
|
||||
</enum>
|
||||
<P>Both disks have 1416 cylinders.
|
||||
<P>1. I boot from a MS-DOS or Windows 95 boot disk that contains the
|
||||
FDISK.EXE utility and make a small 50 meg primary partition (35-40 for
|
||||
Windows 95, plus a little breathing room) on the first disk. Also create
|
||||
a larger partition on the second hard disk for my Windows applications
|
||||
and data.
|
||||
<P>2. I reboot and install Windows 95 (easier said than done) :) on the
|
||||
"C:" partition.
|
||||
<P>3. The next thing I do is install Linux. I'm not sure about all the
|
||||
distributions of Linux, but slackware includes LILO (see <ref name="section 2" id="2">). When I am partitioning out my hard disk with Linux "fdisk," I would put all of Linux on
|
||||
the first drive (maybe 300 megs for a nice root partition and some
|
||||
swap space).
|
||||
<P>4. After I install Linux, and are prompted about installing LILO,
|
||||
make SURE that I install it on the boot sector of my root Linux
|
||||
partition, not in the MBR (master boot record).
|
||||
<P>5. The remaining hard disk space can go to FreeBSD. I also make
|
||||
sure that my FreeBSD root slice does not go beyond the 1024th
|
||||
cylinder. (The 1024th cylinder is 528 megs into the disk with our
|
||||
hypothetical 720MB disks). I will use the rest of the hard drive
|
||||
(about 270 megs) for the "/usr" and "/" slices if I wish. The rest
|
||||
of the second hard disk (size depends on the amount of my
|
||||
Windows application/data partition that I created in step 1 can go
|
||||
to the "/usr/src" slice and swap space.
|
||||
<P><VERB>
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
When viewed with the Windows 95 "fdisk" utility, my hard drives
|

should now look something like this:

|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>6. Install FreeBSD. I make sure to boot with my first hard disk
|
||||
set at "NORMAL" in the BIOS. If it is not, I'll have the enter my
|
||||
true disk geometry at boot time (to get this, boot Windows 95 and
|
||||
consult Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD.EXE), or check your BIOS) with
|
||||
the parameter "hd0=1416,16,63" where 1416 is the number of
|
||||
cylinders on my hard disk, 16 is the number of heads per track,
|
||||
and 63 is the number of sectors per track on the drive.
|
||||
<P>7. When partitioning out the hard disk, I make sure to install
|
||||
"Boot Easy" on the first disk. I don't worry about the second disk,
|
||||
nothing is booting off of it.
|
||||
<P>8. When I reboot, "Boot Easy" should recognize my three
|
||||
bootable partitions as DOS (Windows 95), Linux, and BSD (FreeBSD).
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Special Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
<label id="4"><P>Most operating systems are very picky about where and how they are
|
||||
placed on the hard disk. Windows 95 and DOS need to be on the first
|
||||
primary partition on the first hard disk. OS/2 is the exception. It
|
||||
can be installed on the first or second disk in a primary or extended
|
||||
partition. If you are not sure, keep the beginning of the bootable
|
||||
partitions below the 1024th cylinder.
|
||||
<P>If you install Windows 95 on an existing BSD system, it will "destroy"
|
||||
the MBR, and you will have to reinstall your previous boot manager.
|
||||
Boot Easy can be reinstalled by using the BOOTINST.EXE utility
|
||||
included in the \TOOLS directory on the CD-ROM, and via ftp at <htmlurl
|
||||
url="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools"
|
||||
name="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools">. You can also
|
||||
re-start the installation process and go to the partition editor.
|
||||
>From there, mark the FreeBSD partition as bootable, select Boot Manager,
|
||||
and then type W to (W)rite out the information to the MBR. You can now reboot, and
|
||||
"Boot Easy" should then recognize Windows 95 as "DOS."
|
||||
<P>Please keep in mind that OS/2 can read FAT and HPFS partitions,
|
||||
but not FFS (FreeBSD) or EXT2 (Linux) partitions. Likewise,
|
||||
Windows 95 can only read and write to FAT and FAT32 (see <ref name="section 2" id="2">) partitions.
|
||||
FreeBSD can read most file systems, but currently cannot read HPFS
|
||||
partitions. Linux can read HPFS partitions, but can't write to them.
|
||||
Recent versions of the Linux kernel (2.x) can read and write to
|
||||
Windows 95 VFAT partitions (VFAT is what gives Windows 95
|
||||
long file names - it's pretty much the same as FAT). Linux can read and write to
|
||||
most file systems. Got that? I hope so.
|
||||

||||
<sect>Examples
|
||||
|
||||
<label id="5"><P><EM>(section needs work, please send your example to <htmlurl
|
||||
url="mailto:jayrich@in.net" name="jayrich@in.net">)</EM>.
|
||||
<P>FreeBSD+Win95: If you installed FreeBSD after Windows 95, you
|
||||
should see 'DOS' on the "Boot Easy" menu. This is Windows 95.
|
||||
If you installed Windows 95 after FreeBSD, read <ref name="section 4" id="4"> above.
|
||||
As long as your hard disk does not have 1024 cylinders you should not
|
||||
have a problem booting. If one of your partitions goes beyond the
|
||||
1024th cylinder however, and you get messages like "invalid system
|
||||
disk" under DOS (Windows 95) and FreeBSD will not boot, try looking
|
||||
for a setting in your BIOS called "> 1024 cylinder support" or
|
||||
"NORMAL/LBA" mode. DOS may need LBA (Logical Block Addressing) in
|
||||
order to boot correctly. If the idea of switching BIOS settings every
|
||||
time you boot up doesn't appeal to you, you can boot FreeBSD through
|
||||
DOS via the FBSDBOOT.EXE utility on the CD (It should find your FreeBSD
|
||||
partition and boot it.)
|
||||
<P>FreeBSD+OS/2+Win95: Nothing new here. OS/2's boot manger
|
||||
can boot all of these operating systems, so that shouldn't be a
|
||||
problem.
|
||||
<P>FreeBSD+Linux: You can also use "Boot Easy" to boot both operating
|
||||
systems.

|

<P>This section attempts to give you enough basic information about
|
||||
your hard disks and the disk booting process so that you can
|
||||
troubleshoot most problems you might encounter when getting set up to
|
||||
boot several operating systems. It starts in pretty basic terms, so you may want
|
||||
to skim down in this section until it begins to look unfamiliar and then start
|
||||
reading.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Disk Primer
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Three fundamental terms are used to describe the location of
|
||||
data on your hard disk: Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors. It's not
|
||||
particularly important to know what these terms relate to except to
|
||||
know that, together, they identify where data is physically on your
|
||||
disk.
|
||||
<P>Your disk has a particular number of cylinders, number of heads,
|
||||
and number of sectors per cylinder-head (a cylinder-head also known
|
||||
nown as a track). Collectively this information defines the
|
||||
"physical disk geometry" for your hard disk. There are typically 512
|
||||
bytes per sector, and 63 sectors per track, with the number of
|
||||
cylinders and heads varying widely from disk to disk. Thus you can
|
||||
figure the number of bytes of data that'll fit on your own disk by
|
||||
calculating:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
(# of cylinders) * (# heads) * (63 sectors/track) * (512 bytes/sect)
|
||||
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>For example, on my 1.6 Gig Western Digital AC31600 EIDE hard disk,that's:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
(3148 cyl) * (16 heads) * (63 sectors/track) * (512 bytes/sect)
|
||||
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>which is 1,624,670,208 bytes, or around 1.6 Gig.
|
||||
<P>You can find out the physical disk geometry (number of
|
||||
cylinders, heads, and sectors/track counts) for your hard disks using
|
||||
ATAID or other programs off the net. Your hard disk probably came
|
||||
with this information as well. Be careful though: if you're using
|
||||
BIOS LBA (see <ref name="section 7.3" id="limits">), you
|
||||
can't use just any program to get the physical geometry. This is because
|
||||
many programs (e.g. MSD.EXE or FreeBSD fdisk) don't identify the physical
|
||||
disk geometry; they instead report the "translated geometry" (virtual
|
||||
numbers from using LBA). Stay tuned for what that means.
|
||||
<P>One other useful thing about these terms. Given 3 numbers -- a
|
||||
cylinder number, a head number, and a sector-within-track number --
|
||||
you identify a specific absolute sector (a 512 byte block of data) on
|
||||
your disk. Cylinders and Heads are numbered up from 0, and Sectors
|
||||
are numbered up from 1.
|
||||
<P>For those that are interested in more technical details, information on
|
||||
disk geometry, boot sectors, BIOSes, etc. can be found all over the net.
|
||||
Query Lycos, Yahoo, etc. for "boot sector" or "master boot record".
|
||||
Among the useful info you'll find are Hale Landis's "How It Works"
|
||||
document pack. See the <ref name="Other Sources of Help" id="sources">
|
||||
section for a few pointers to this pack.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Ok, enough terminology. We're talking about booting here.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>The Booting Process<label id="booting"></heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>On the first sector of your disk (Cyl 0, Head 0, Sector 1) lives
|
||||
the Master Boot Record (MBR). It contains a map of your disk. It
|
||||
identifies up to 4 "partitions", each of which is a contiguous chunk
|
||||
of that disk. FreeBSD calls partitions "slices" to avoid confusion
|
||||
with it's own partitions, but we won't do that here. Each partition
|
||||
can contain its own operating system.
|
||||
<P>Each partition entry in the MBR has a "Partition ID", a "Start
|
||||
Cylinder/Head/Sector", and an "End Cylinder/Head/Sector". The
|
||||
Partition ID tells what type of partition it is (what OS) and the
|
||||
Start/End tells where it is. Here's a smattering of some common
|
||||
Partition IDs:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
ID (hex) DESCRIPTION
|
||||
01 ...... Primary DOS12 (12-bit FAT)
|
||||
04 ...... Primary DOS16 (16-bit FAT)
|
||||
05 ...... Extended DOS
|
||||
06 ...... Primary big DOS (> 32MB)
|
||||
0A ...... OS/2
|
||||
83 ...... Linux (EXT2FS)
|
||||
A5 ...... FreeBSD, NetBSD, 386BSD (UFS)
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>Note that not all partitions are bootable (e.g. Extended DOS).
|
||||
Some are -- some aren't. What makes a partition bootable is the
|
||||
configuration of the "Partition Boot Sector" that exists at the
|
||||
beginning of each partition.
|
||||
<P>When you configure your favorite boot manager, it looks up the entries
|
||||
in the MBR partition tables of all your hard disks and lets you name the
|
||||
entries in that list. Then when you boot, the boot manager is invoked by
|
||||
special code in the Master Boot Sector of the first probed hard disk on
|
||||
your system. It looks at the MBR partition table entry corresponding to
|
||||
the partition choice you made, uses the Start Cylinder/Head/Sector
|
||||
information for that partition, loads up the Partition Boot Sector for that
|
||||
partition, and gives it control. That Boot Sector for the partition itself
|
||||
contains enough information to start loading the operating system on that
|
||||
partition.
|
||||
<P>One thing we just brushed past that's important to know. All of your
|
||||
hard disks have MBRs. However, the one that's important is the one on the
|
||||
disk that's first probed by the BIOS. If you have only IDE hard disks, its
|
||||
the first IDE disk (e.g. primary disk on first controller). Similarly for
|
||||
SCSI only systems. If you have both IDE and SCSI hard disks though, the
|
||||
IDE disk is typically probed first by the BIOS, so the first IDE disk is
|
||||
the first probed disk. The boot manager you will install will be hooked into
|
||||
the MBR on this first probed hard disk that we've just described.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Booting Limitations and Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
<label id="limits"><P>Now the interesting stuff that you need to watch out for.
|
||||
<P><BF>1. The dreaded 1024 cylinder limit and how BIOS LBA helps</BF>
|
||||
<P>The first part of the booting process is all done through the
|
||||
BIOS, (if that's a new term to you, the BIOS is a software chip on
|
||||
your system motherboard which provides startup code for your
|
||||
computer). As such, this first part of the process is subject to the
|
||||
limitations of the BIOS interface.
|
||||
<P>The BIOS interface used to read the hard disk during this period
|
||||
(INT 13H, Subfunction 2) allocates 10 bits to the Cylinder Number, 8
|
||||
bits to the Head Number, and 6 bits to the Sector Number. This
|
||||
restricts users of this interface (i.e. boot managers hooked into
|
||||
your disk's MBR as well as OS loaders hooked into the Boot Sectors)
|
||||
to the following limits:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
1024 cylinders, max
|
||||
256 heads , max
|
||||
64 cylinders, max (actually 63 -- "0" isn't available)
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>Now big hard disks have lots of cylinders but not a lot of
|
||||
heads, so invariably with big hard disks the number of cylinders is
|
||||
greater than 1024. Given this and the BIOS interface as is, you
|
||||
can't boot off just anywhere on your hard disk. The boot code (the
|
||||
boot manager and the OS loader hooked into all bootable partitions'
|
||||
Boot Sectors) has to reside below cylinder 1024. In fact, if your
|
||||
hard disk is typical and has 16 heads, this equates to:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
1024 cyl/disk * 16 heads/disk * 63 sect/(cyl-head) * 512 bytes/sector
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>which is around the often-mentioned 528MB limit.
|
||||
<P>This is where BIOS LBA (Logical Block Addressing) comes in. BIOS LBA
|
||||
gives the user of the BIOS API calls access to physical cylinders above
|
||||
1024 though the BIOS interfaces by "redefining" a cylinder. That is, it
|
||||
remaps your cylinders and heads, making it appear through the BIOS as
|
||||
though the disk has "fewer" cylinders and "more" heads than it actually
|
||||
does. In other words, it takes advantage of the fact that hard disks have
|
||||
relatively few heads and lots of cylinders by shifting the balance between
|
||||
number of cylinders and number of heads so that both numbers lie below the
|
||||
above-mentioned limits (1024 cylinders, 256 heads).
|
||||
|
||||
<P>With BIOS LBA, the hard disk size limitation is virtually
|
||||
removed (well, pushed up to 8 Gigabytes anyway). If you have an LBA
|
||||
BIOS, you can put FreeBSD or any OS anywhere you want and not hit the
|
||||
1024 cylinder limit.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>To use my my 1.6 Gig Western Digital as an example again, it's
|
||||
physical geometry is:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
(3148 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector)
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>However, my BIOS LBA remaps this to:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
( 787 cyl, 64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector)
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>giving the same effective size disk, but with cylinder and head
|
||||
counts within the BIOS API's range (Incidentally, I have both Linux and
|
||||
FreeBSD existing on one of my hard disks above the 1024th physical
|
||||
cylinder, and both operating systems boot fine, thanks to BIOS LBA).
|
||||
<P><BF>2. Boot Managers and Disk Allocation</BF>
|
||||
<P>Another gotcha to watch out when installing boot managers is
|
||||
allocating space for your boot manager. It's best to be aware of
|
||||
this issue up front to save yourself from having to reinstall one or
|
||||
more of your OSs.
|
||||
<P>If you followed the discussion in <ref name="section 7.2" id="booting">
|
||||
about the Master Boot Sector (where the MBR is), Partition Boot Sectors, and the booting
|
||||
process, you may have been wondering just exactly where on your hard
|
||||
disk that nifty boot manager is going to live. Well, some boot
|
||||
managers are small enough to fit entirely within the Master Boot
|
||||
Sector (Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 0) along with the partition table.
|
||||
Others need a bit more room and actually extend a few sectors past
|
||||
the Master Boot Sector in the Cylinder 0 Head 0 track, since that's
|
||||
typically free...typically.
|
||||
<P>That's the catch. Some operating systems (FreeBSD included) let
|
||||
you start their partitions right after the Master Boot Sector at
|
||||
Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 if you want. In fact, if you give
|
||||
FreeBSD's sysinstall a disk with an empty chunk up front or the whole
|
||||
disk empty, that's where it'll start the FreeBSD partition by default
|
||||
(at least it did when I fell into this trap :-). Then when you go to
|
||||
install your boot manager, if it's one that occupies a few extra
|
||||
sectors after the MBR, it'll overwrite the front of the first
|
||||
partition's data. In the case of FreeBSD, this overwrites the
|
||||
disk label, and renders your FreeBSD partition unbootable.
|
||||
<P>The easy way to avoid this problem (and leave yourself the
|
||||
flexibility to try different boot managers later) is just to always
|
||||
leave the first full track on your disk unallocated when you
|
||||
partition your disk. That is, leave the space from Cylinder 0, Head
|
||||
0, Sector 2 through Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 63 unallocated, and
|
||||
start your first partition at Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1.
|
||||
For what it's worth, when you create a DOS partition at the
|
||||
front of your disk, DOS leaves this space open by default (this is
|
||||
why some boot managers assume it's free). So creating a DOS
|
||||
partition up at the front of your disk avoids this problem
|
||||
altogether. I like to do this myself, creating 1 Meg DOS partition
|
||||
up front, because it also avoids my primary DOS drive letters
|
||||
shifting later when I repartition.
|
||||
<P>For reference, the following boot managers use the
|
||||
Master Boot Sector to store their code and data:
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
<item>OS-BS 1.35
|
||||
<item>Boot Easy
|
||||
<item>LILO
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
<P>These boot managers use a few additional sectors after the
|
||||
Master Boot Sector:
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
<item>OS-BS 2.0 Beta 8 (sectors 2-5)
|
||||
<item>OS/2's boot manager
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
<P><BF>3. What if your machine won't boot?</BF>
|
||||
<P>At some point when installing boot managers, you might leave the
|
||||
MBR in a state such that your machine won't boot. This is unlikely,
|
||||
but possible when re-FDISKing underneath an already-installed boot
|
||||
manager.
|
||||
<P>If you have a bootable DOS partition on your disk, you can boot
|
||||
off a DOS floppy, and run:
|
||||
<VERB>
|
||||
FDISK /MBR
|
||||
</VERB>
|
||||
<P>to put the original, simple DOS boot code back into the system. You can
|
||||
then boot DOS (and DOS only) off the hard drive. Alternatively, just
|
||||
re-run your boot manager installation program off a bootable floppy.

<date>June 30, 1996
|
||||
|
||||
<abstract>Congratulations on installing FreeBSD!
|
||||
This introduction is for people new to both FreeBSD
|
||||
<em>and</em> Un*x---so it starts with basics. It assumes you're using
|
||||
version 2.0.5 or later of FreeBSD as distributed by Walnut Creek
|
||||
or FreeBSD.ORG, your system (for now) has a single user
|
||||
(you)---and you're probably pretty good with DOS/Windows or OS/2.
|
||||
</abstract>
|
||||
|
||||
<toc>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ************************************************************ -->
|
||||
<sect>Logging in and Getting Out
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Log in (when you see <tt>login:</tt>) as a user you created during
|
||||
installation or as <em>root</em>. (Your FreeBSD installation will already
|
||||
have an account for root; root can go anywhere and do anything,
|
||||
including deleting essential files, so be careful!)
|
||||
|
||||
To log out (and get a new <tt>login</tt> prompt) type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
exit
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
as often as necessary. Yes, press <em>enter</em> after commands, and remember
|
||||
that Unix is case-sensitive---<tt>exit</tt>, not <tt>EXIT</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
To shut down the machine type:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/shutdown -h now
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
Or to reboot type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/shutdown -r now
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
or
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/reboot
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
You can also reboot with
|
||||
<tt>Ctrl-Alt-Delete</tt>. Give it a little time to do its work. This is
|
||||
equivalent to <tt>/sbin/reboot</tt> in recent releases of FreeBSD, and is
|
||||
much, much better than hitting the reset button. You don't want to
|
||||
have to reinstall this thing, do you?
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ************************************************************ -->
|
||||
<sect>Adding A User with Root Privileges
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you didn't create any users when you installed the system and
|
||||
are thus logged in as root, you should probably create a user now with
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
adduser
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
Don't use the <tt>-verbose</tt> option; the defaults are what you
|
||||
want. Suppose you create a user <em>jack</em> with full name
|
||||
<em>Jack Benimble</em>. Give jack a password if security (even
|
||||
kids around who might pound on the keyboard) is an issue. When
|
||||
it asks you if you want to invite jack into other groups, type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
wheel
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
This will make it possible to log in as <em>jack</em> and use the <tt>su</tt> command to
|
||||
become root. Then you won't get scolded any more for logging in as
|
||||
root, and as root you'll have the same environment as jack
|
||||
(this is good).
|
||||
|
||||
You can quit <tt>adduser</tt> any time by typing <tt>Ctrl-C</tt>, and at the end
|
||||
you'll have a chance to approve your new user or simply type <tt>n</tt> for no.
|
||||
You might want to create a second newuser (jill?) so that when you edit
|
||||
jack's login files, you'll have a hot spare in case something goes wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've done this, use <tt>exit</tt> to get back to a login prompt and log
|
||||
in as <em>jack</em>. In general, it's a good idea to do as
|
||||
much work as possible as an ordinary user who doesn't have the
|
||||
power---and risk---of root.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already created a user and you want the user to be able to <tt>su</tt>
|
||||
to root, you can log in as root and edit the file <tt>/etc/group</tt>, adding
|
||||
jack to the first line (the group wheel). But first you need to
|
||||
practice <tt>vi</tt>, the text editor.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ************************************************************ -->
|
||||
<sect>Looking Around
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Logged in as an ordinary user, look around and try out some commands that
|
||||
will access the sources of help and information within FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some commands and what they do:
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/<tt>id</tt>/ Tells you who you are!
|
||||
<tag/<tt>pwd</tt>/ Shows you where you are---the current
|
||||
working directory.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>ls</tt>/ Lists the files in the current directory.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>ls -F</tt>/ Lists the files in the current directory
|
||||
with a * after
|
||||
executables, a / after directories, and an @ after symbolic
|
||||
links.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>ls -l</tt>/ Lists the files in long format---size,
|
||||
date, permissions.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>ls -a</tt>/ Lists hidden (unless you're root) ``dot''
|
||||
files with the others.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>cd</tt>/ Changes directories. <tt>cd ..</tt> backs up
|
||||
one level; note the
|
||||
space after <tt>cd</tt>. <tt>cd /usr/local</tt>
|
||||
goes there. <tt>cd ~</tt> goes to
|
||||
the home directory of the person logged in---e.g.,
|
||||
<tt>/usr/home/jack</tt>. Try <tt>cd /cdrom</tt>,
|
||||
and then <tt>ls</tt>, to find out
|
||||
if your cdrom is mounted and working.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>view <em>filename</em></tt>/
|
||||
Lets you look at a file (named <em>filename</em>
|
||||
without changing
|
||||
it. Try <tt>view /etc/fstab</tt>. <tt>:q</tt> to quit.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>cat <em>filename</em></tt>/
|
||||
Displays <em>filename</em> on screen. If it's too long and you
|
||||
can see only the end of it, press <tt>ScrollLock</tt> and use
|
||||
the <tt>up-arrow</tt> to move backward; you can
|
||||
use <tt>ScrollLock</tt> with
|
||||
man pages too. Press <tt>ScrollLock</tt> again
|
||||
to quit scrolling.
|
||||
You might want to try <tt>cat</tt> on some of the
|
||||
dot files in your
|
||||
home directory---<tt>cat .cshrc</tt>, <tt>cat .login</tt>,
|
||||
<tt>cat .profile</tt>.
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
You'll notice aliases in <tt>.cshrc</tt>
|
||||
for some of the <tt>ls</tt> commands (they're very convenient). You can create
|
||||
other aliases by editing <tt>.cshrc</tt>. You can make these aliases
|
||||
available to all users on the system by putting them in the system-wide
|
||||
csh configuration file, <em>/etc/csh.cshrc</em>.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ************************************************************ -->
|
||||
<sect>Getting Help and Information
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here are some useful sources of help. ``text'' stands for something of
|
||||
your choice that you type in---usually a command or filename.
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/<tt>apropos <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
Everything containing string <em>text</em>
|
||||
in the whatis database.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>man <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
The man page for <em>text</em>.
|
||||
The major source of documentation
|
||||
for Un*x systems. <tt>man ls</tt> will tell you
|
||||
all the ways to
|
||||
use the <tt>ls</tt> command. Press <tt>Enter</tt> to
|
||||
move through text, <tt>Ctrl-b</tt>
|
||||
to go back a page, <tt>Ctrl-f</tt> to go forward,
|
||||
<tt>q</tt> or <tt>Ctrl-c</tt> to quit.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>which <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
Tells you where in the user's path the command
|
||||
<em>text</em> is found.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>locate <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
All the paths where the string <tt>text</tt> is found.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>whatis <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
Tells you what the command <tt>text</tt> does and its man page.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>whereis <em>text</em></tt>/
|
||||
Finds the file <em>text</em>, giving its full path.
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
You might want to try using <tt>whatis</tt> on some common useful
|
||||
commands like <tt>cat</tt>, <tt>more</tt>, <tt>grep</tt>,
|
||||
<tt>mv</tt>, <tt>find</tt>, <tt>tar</tt>, <tt>chmod</tt>,
|
||||
<tt>chown</tt>, <tt>date</tt>, and <tt>script</tt>.
|
||||
<tt>more</tt> lets you read a page at a time as it does in DOS,
|
||||
e.g., <tt>ls -l | more</tt> or <tt>more <em>filename</em></tt>. The
|
||||
<tt>*</tt> works as a wildcard---e.g., <tt>ls w*</tt> will show
|
||||
you files beginning with w.
|
||||
|
||||
Are some of these not working very well? Both <tt>locate</tt>
|
||||
and <tt>whatis</tt> depend on a database that's rebuilt weekly.
|
||||
If your machine isn't going to be left on over the weekend (and
|
||||
running FreeBSD), you might want to run the commands for daily,
|
||||
weekly, and monthly maintenance now and then. Run them as root
|
||||
and give each one time to finish before you start the next one,
|
||||
for now.
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/etc/daily<newline>
|
||||
/etc/weekly<newline>
|
||||
/etc/monthly
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
If you get tired waiting, press <tt>Alt-F2</tt> to get another
|
||||
virtual console, and log in again. After all, it's a multi-user,
|
||||
multi-tasking system. Nevertheless these commands will probably
|
||||
flash messages on your screen while they're running; you can type
|
||||
<tt>clear</tt> at the prompt to clear the screen. Once they've run, you
|
||||
might want to look at <tt>/var/mail/root</tt> and
|
||||
<tt>/var/log/messages</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
Basically running such commands is part of system administration---and as
|
||||
a single user of a Unix system, you're your own system administrator.
|
||||
Virtually everything you need to be root to do is system administration.
|
||||
Such responsibilities aren't covered very well even in those big fat books
|
||||
on Unix, which seem to devote a lot of space to pulling down menus in
|
||||
windows managers. You might want to get one of the two leading books
|
||||
on systems administration, either Evi Nemeth et.al.'s <em>UNIX System
|
||||
Administration Handbook</em> (Prentice-Hall, 1995, ISBN 0-13-15051-7)---the
|
||||
second edition with the red cover; or Æleen Frisch's <em>Essential System
|
||||
Administration</em> (O'Reilly & Associates, 1993, ISBN 0-937175-80-3).
|
||||
I used Nemeth.

<sect>Editing Text
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To configure your system, you need to edit text files. Most
|
||||
of them will be in the <tt>/etc</tt> directory; and you'll need
|
||||
to <tt>su</tt> to root to be able to change them. The text
|
||||
editor is <tt>vi</tt>. Before you edit a file, you should
|
||||
probably back it up. Suppose you want to edit
|
||||
<tt>/etc/sysconfig</tt>. You could just use <tt>cd /etc</tt> to
|
||||
get to the <tt>/etc</tt> directory and do:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
cp sysconfig sysconfig.orig
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
This would copy <tt>sysconfig</tt> to <tt>sysconfig.orig</tt>,
|
||||
and you could later copy <tt>sysconfig.orig</tt> to
|
||||
<tt>sysconfig</tt> to recover the original. But even better
|
||||
would be moving (renaming) and then copying back:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
mv sysconfig sysconfig.orig<newline>
|
||||
cp sysconfig.orig sysconfig
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
because the <tt>mv</tt> command preserves the original date and
|
||||
owner of the file. You can now edit <tt>sysconfig</tt>. If you
|
||||
want the original back, you'd then <tt>mv sysconfig syconfig.myedit</tt>
|
||||
(assuming you want to preserve your edited version) and then
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
mv sysconfig.orig sysconfig
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
to put things back the way they were.
|
||||
|
||||
To edit a file, type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
vi filename
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
Move through the text with the arrow keys. <tt>Esc</tt> (the
|
||||
escape key) puts <tt>vi</tt> in command mode. Here are some
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/<tt>x</tt>/ delete letter the cursor is on
|
||||
<tag/<tt>dd</tt>/ delete the entire line (even if
|
||||
it wraps on the screen)
|
||||
<tag/<tt>i</tt>/ insert text at the cursor
|
||||
<tag/<tt>a</tt>/ insert text after the cursor
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
Once you type <tt>i</tt> or <tt>a</tt>, you can enter text.
|
||||
<tt>Esc</tt> puts you back in command mode where you can type
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/<tt>:w</tt>/ to write your changes to disk and continue editing
|
||||
<tag/<tt>:wq</tt>/ to write and quit
|
||||
<tag/<tt>:q!</tt>/ to quit without saving changes
|
||||
<tag><tt>/<em>text</em></tt></tag> to move the cursor
|
||||
to <em>text</em>; <tt>/Enter</tt> (the enter
|
||||
key) to find the next instance of <em>text</em>.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>G</tt>/ to go to the end of the file
|
||||
<tag/<tt><em>n</em>G</tt>/ to go to line <em>n</em> in
|
||||
the file, where <em>n</em> is a number
|
||||
<tag/<tt>Ctrl-L</tt>/ to redraw the screen
|
||||
<tag/<tt>Ctrl-b</tt> and <tt>Ctrl-f</tt>/ go back
|
||||
and forward a screen, as they
|
||||
do with <tt>more</tt> and <tt>view</tt>.
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
Practice with <tt>vi</tt> in your home directory by creating a
|
||||
new file with <tt>vi filename</tt> and adding and deleting text,
|
||||
saving the file, and calling it up again. <tt>vi</tt> delivers
|
||||
some surprises because it's really quite complex, and sometimes
|
||||
you'll inadvertently issue a command that will do something you
|
||||
don't expect. (Some people actually like <tt>vi</tt>---it's more
|
||||
powerful than DOS EDIT---find out about the <tt>:r</tt> command.)
|
||||
Use <tt>Esc</tt> one or more times to be sure you're in command
|
||||
mode and proceed from there when it gives you trouble, save often
|
||||
with <tt>:w</tt>, and use <tt>:q!</tt> to get out and start over
|
||||
(from your last <tt>:w</tt>) when you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can <tt>cd</tt> to <tt>/etc</tt>, <tt>su</tt> to root,
|
||||
use <tt>vi</tt> to edit the file <tt>/etc/group</tt>, and add a
|
||||
user to wheel so the user has root privileges. Just add a comma
|
||||
and the user's login name to the end of the first line in the
|
||||
file, press <tt>Esc</tt>, and use <tt>:wq</tt> to write the file
|
||||
to disk and quit. Instantly effective. (You didn't put a space
|
||||
after the comma, did you?)
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ************************************************************ -->
|
||||
<sect>Printing Files from DOS
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At this point you probably don't have the printer working, so here's a
|
||||
way to create a file from a man page, move it to a floppy, and then
|
||||
print it from DOS. Suppose you want to read carefully about changing
|
||||
permissions on files (pretty important). You can use the command
|
||||
man chmod to read about it. The command
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
man chmod > chmod.txt
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
will send the man page to the <tt>chmod.txt</tt> file instead of showing it on
|
||||
your screen. Now put a dos-formatted diskette in your floppy drive a,
|
||||
<tt>su</tt> to root, and type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
to mount the floppy drive on <tt>/mnt</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
Now (you no longer need to be root, and you can type <tt>exit</tt> to get
|
||||
back to being user jack) you can go to the directory where you created
|
||||
chmod.txt and copy the file to the floppy with:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
cp chmod.txt /mnt
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
and use <tt>ls /mnt</tt> to get a directory listing of
|
||||
<tt>/mnt</tt>, which should show the file <tt>chmod.txt</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
You might especially want to make a file from <tt>/sbin/dmesg</tt> by typing
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/dmesg > dmesg.txt
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
and copying <tt>dmesg.txt</tt> to the floppy. <tt>/sbin/dmesg</tt> is the boot
|
||||
log record,
|
||||
and it's useful to understand it because it shows what FreeBSD found
|
||||
when it booted up. If you ask questions on questions@freebsd.org or on
|
||||
a USENET group---like ``FreeBSD isn't finding my tape drive, what do I
|
||||
do?''---people will want to know what <tt>dmesg</tt> has to say.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now dismount the floppy drive (as root) to get the disk out with
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
/sbin/umount /mnt
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
or reboot to go to DOS. Copy these files to a DOS directory, call them
|
||||
up with DOS EDIT, Windows Notepad, or a word processor, make a minor
|
||||
change so the file has to be saved, and print as you normally would
|
||||
from DOS or Windows. Hope it works! man pages come out best if printed
|
||||
with the dos <tt>print</tt> command. (Copying files from FreeBSD to a mounted
|
||||
dos partition is in some cases still a little risky.)
|
||||
|
||||
Getting the printer printing from FreeBSD involves
|
||||
creating an appropriate entry in <tt>/etc/printcap</tt> and creating
|
||||
a matching spool directory in <tt>/var/spool/output</tt>. If your
|
||||
printer is on lpt0 (what dos calls LPT1), you may only need to
|
||||
go to <tt>/var/spool/output</tt> and (as root) create the directory
|
||||
lpd by typing:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
mkdir lpd
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
Then the printer should respond if it's turned on when the
|
||||
system is booted, and lp or lpr should send a file to the printer.
|
||||
Whether or not the file actually prints depends on configuring it, which is
|
||||
covered in the FreeBSD handbook.

<sect>Other Useful Commands
|

<p><descrip>
|

<tag/<tt>df</tt>/ shows file space and mounted systems.
|

<tag/<tt>ps aux</tt>/ shows processes running. <tt>ps ax</tt> is a narrower form.
|

<tag/<tt>lsdev</tt>/ lists configured devices
|

<tag/<tt>devmenu</tt>/ a menu of devices---in color!
|

<tag/<tt>rm <em>filename</em></tt>/ remove <tt>filename</tt>
|

<tag/<tt>rm -R <em>dir</em></tt>/ removes a directory <tt>dir</tt> and all
|
||||
subdirectories---careful!
|
||||
<tag/<tt>ls -R</tt>/ lists files in the current
|
||||
directory and all subdirectories;
|
||||
I used a variant, <tt>ls -AFR > where.txt</tt>,
|
||||
to get a list of all
|
||||
the files in <tt>/</tt> and (separately)
|
||||
<tt>/usr</tt> before I found better
|
||||
ways to find files.
|
||||
<tag/<tt>passwd</tt>/ to change user's password (or root's password)
|
||||
<tag/<tt>man hier</tt>/ man page on the Unix file system
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
Use find to locate filename in <tt>/usr</tt> or any of its subdirectories with
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
find /usr -name "<em>filename</em>"
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
You can use <tt>*</tt> as a wildcard in <tt>"<em>filename</em>"</tt>
|
||||
(which should be in quotes). If you tell find to search in
|
||||
<tt>/</tt> instead of <tt>/usr</tt> it will look for the file(s)
|
||||
on all mounted file systems, including the cdrom and the dos
|
||||
partition.

|
||||
<sect>Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You should now have the tools you need to get around and edit
|
||||
files, so you can get everything up and running. There is a
|
||||
great deal of information in the FreeBSD handbook (which is
|
||||
probably on your hard drive) and <url
|
||||
url="http://www.freebsd.org" name="FreeBSD's web site">. A wide
|
||||
variety of packages and ports are on the <htmlurl
|
||||
url="http://www.cdrom.com" name="Walnut Creek"> cdrom as well as
|
||||
the web site. The handbook tells you more about how to use them
|
||||
(get the package if it exists, with <tt>pkg_add
|
||||
/cdrom/packages/All/<em>packagename</em></tt>, where
|
||||
<em>packagename</em> is the filename of the package). The cdrom
|
||||
has lists of the packages and ports with brief descriptions in
|
||||
<tt>cdrom/packages/index</tt>, <tt>cdrom/packages/index.txt</tt>,
|
||||
and <tt>cdrom/ports/index</tt>, with fuller descriptions in
|
||||
<tt>/cdrom/ports/*/*/pkg/DESCR</tt>, where the <tt>*</tt>s
|
||||
represent subdirectories of kinds of programs and program names
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
If you find the handbook too sophisticated (what with
|
||||
<tt>lndir</tt> and all) on installing ports from the cdrom,
|
||||
here's what usually works:
|
||||
|
||||
Find the port you want, say <tt>kermit</tt>. There will be a directory
|
||||
for it on the cdrom. Copy the subdirectory to
|
||||
<tt>/usr/local</tt> (a good place for software you add that
|
||||
should be available to all users) with:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
cp -R /cdrom/ports/comm/kermit /usr/local
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
This should result in a <tt>/usr/local/kermit</tt> subdirectory
|
||||
that has all the files that the <tt>kermit</tt> subdirectory on
|
||||
the cdrom has.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, check <tt>/cdrom/ports/distfiles</tt> for a file with a name
|
||||
that indicates it's the port you want. Copy that file to
|
||||
<tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt>. (Create <tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt>
|
||||
if it doesn't exist using <em>mkdir</em>.) In the case of <tt>kermit</tt>,
|
||||
there is no distfile.
|
||||
|
||||
Then <tt>cd</tt> to the subdirectory of
|
||||
<tt>/usr/local/kermit</tt> that has the file Makefile. Type
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
make all install
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
During this process the port will ftp to get any compressed files it
|
||||
needs that it didn't find in <tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt>. If you
|
||||
don't have your network running yet and there was no file for the
|
||||
port in <tt>/cdrom/ports/distfiles</tt>, you will have to get the
|
||||
distfile using another machine and copy it to
|
||||
<tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt> from a floppy or your dos partition.
|
||||
Read <tt>Makefile</tt> (with <tt>cat</tt> or <tt>more</tt> or
|
||||
<tt>view</tt>) to find out where to go (the master distribution site)
|
||||
to get the file and what its name is. Its name will be truncated
|
||||
when downloaded to DOS, and after you get it into
|
||||
<tt>/usr/ports/distfiles</tt> you'll have to rename it (with the
|
||||
<tt>mv</tt> command) to its original name so it can be found. (Use
|
||||
binary file transfers!) Then go back to <tt>/usr/local/kermit</tt>,
|
||||
find the directory with <tt>Makefile</tt>, and type <tt>make all
|
||||
install</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
The other thing that happens when installing ports or packages is that
|
||||
some other program is needed. If the installation stops with a message
|
||||
"can't find unzip" or whatever, you might need to install the package
|
||||
or port for unzip before you continue.
|
||||
|
||||
Once it's installed type <tt>rehash</tt> to make FreeBSD
|
||||
<tt>reread</tt> the files in the path so it knows what's there.
|
||||
(If you get a lot of "path not found" messages when you use
|
||||
<tt>whereis</tt> or which, you might want to make additions to
|
||||
the list of directories in the path statement in <tt>.cshrc</tt>
|
||||
in your home directory. The path statement in Unix does the same
|
||||
kind of work it does in DOS, except the current directory is not
|
||||
(by default) in the path for security reasons; if
|
||||
the command you want is in the directory you're in, you need to
|
||||
type <tt>./</tt> before the command to make it work; no space after the
|
||||
slash.)
|
||||
|
||||
You might want to get the most recent version of Netscape from their
|
||||
<url url="ftp://ftp.netscape.com" name="ftp site">. (Netscape
|
||||
requires the X window sytem.) The version you want is the "unknown
|
||||
bsd" version. Just use <tt>gunzip <em>filename</em></tt> and <tt>tar
|
||||
xvf <em>filename</em></tt> on it, move the binary to
|
||||
<tt>/usr/local/bin</tt> or some other place binaries are kept,
|
||||
<tt>rehash</tt>, and then put the following lines in <tt>.cshrc</tt>
|
||||
in each user's home directory or (easier) in
|
||||
<tt>/etc/csh.cshrc</tt>, the system-wide csh start-up file:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB<newline>
|
||||
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
This assumes that the file <tt>XKeysymDB</tt> and the directory
|
||||
<tt>nls</tt> are in
|
||||
<tt>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11</tt>; if they're not, find them and put them there.
|
||||
|
||||
If you originally got Netscape as a port using the cdrom (or ftp),
|
||||
don't replace <tt>/usr/local/bin/netscape</tt> with the new netscape binary;
|
||||
this is just a shell script that sets up the environmental variables
|
||||
for you. Instead rename the new binary to <tt>netscape.bin</tt> and replace the
|
||||
old
|
||||
binary, which is <tt>/usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin</tt>.

<sect>Other
|

|
||||
<p>As root, you can dismount the cdrom with <tt>/sbin/umount
|
||||
/cdrom</tt>, take it out of the drive, insert another one, and
|
||||
mount it with <tt>/sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom</tt>
|
||||
assuming <tt>cd0a</tt> is the device name for your cdrom drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the live file system---the second of FreeBSD's cdrom disks---is
|
||||
useful if you've got limited space. You might try using
|
||||
<tt>emacs</tt> or playing games from the cdrom. This involves using
|
||||
<tt>lndir</tt>, which gets installed with the X Window System, to tell the
|
||||
program(s) where to find the necessary files, because they're in the
|
||||
<tt>/cdrom</tt> file system instead of in <tt>/usr</tt> and its
|
||||
subdirectories, which is where they're expected to be. Read <tt>man
|
||||
lndir</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
You can delete a user (say, jack) by using the command <tt>vipw</tt>
|
||||
to bring up the <tt>master.passwd</tt> file (do not use vi directly
|
||||
on master.passwd); delete the line for jack and save the file. Then
|
||||
edit <tt>/etc/group</tt>, eliminating jack wherever it appears.
|
||||
Finally, go to <tt>/usr/home</tt> and use <tt>rm -R</tt> jack (to
|
||||
get rid of user jack's home directory files).
