|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>FreeBSD 5.0 marks the first new major version of FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
in over two years. Besides a number of new features, it
|
||||||
|
also contains a number of major developments in the
|
||||||
|
underlying system architecture. Along with these advances,
|
||||||
|
however, comes a system that incorporates a tremendous
|
||||||
|
amount of new and not-widely-tested code. Compared to the
|
||||||
|
existing line of 4.<tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt>
|
||||||
|
releases, 5.0 may have regressions in areas of stability,
|
||||||
|
performance, and occasionally functionality.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For these reasons, the Release Engineering Team <tt
|
||||||
|
class="EMAIL"><<a href=
|
||||||
|
"mailto:re@FreeBSD.org">re@FreeBSD.org</a>></tt> does
|
||||||
|
<span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">not</i></span>
|
||||||
|
encourage users to blindly update from older FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
releases to 5.0. Specifically, for more conservative users,
|
||||||
|
we recommend running 4.<tt class=
|
||||||
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> releases (such as 4.7-RELEASE
|
||||||
|
or the upcoming 4.8-RELEASE) for the near-term future. We
|
||||||
|
feel that such users are probably best served by upgrading
|
||||||
|
to 5.<tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> only after a
|
||||||
|
5-STABLE development branch has been created; this may be
|
||||||
|
around the time of 5.1-RELEASE or 5.2-RELEASE.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>(FreeBSD 5.0 suffers from what has been described as a
|
||||||
|
``chicken and egg'' problem. The entire project has a goal
|
||||||
|
of producing a 5.0-RELEASE that is as stable and reliable
|
||||||
|
as possible. This stability and reliability requires
|
||||||
|
widespread testing, particularly of the system's newer
|
||||||
|
features. However, getting a large number of users to test
|
||||||
|
the system, in a practical sense, means building and
|
||||||
|
distributing a release first!)</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This article describes some of the issues involved in
|
||||||
|
installing and running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE. We begin with a
|
||||||
|
brief overview of the FreeBSD release process. We then
|
||||||
|
present some of the more noteworthy new features in FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
5.0, along with some areas that may prove troublesome for
|
||||||
|
unwary users. For those users choosing to remain with
|
||||||
|
4-STABLE-based releases, we give some of the short- to
|
||||||
|
medium-term plans for this development branch. Finally, we
|
||||||
|
present some notes on upgrading existing 4.<tt class=
|
||||||
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> systems to 5.0.</p>

<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN23">2 An Overview of the
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD Release Process</a></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>FreeBSD employs a model of development that relies on
|
||||||
|
multiple development branches within the source code
|
||||||
|
repository. The main branch is called ``CURRENT'', and is
|
||||||
|
referred to in the CVS repository with the <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"LITERAL">HEAD</tt> tag. New features are committed first
|
||||||
|
to this branch; although this means that CURRENT is the
|
||||||
|
first to see new functionality, it also means that it
|
||||||
|
occasionally suffers from breakages as new features are
|
||||||
|
added and debugged.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Most FreeBSD releases are made from one of several
|
||||||
|
``STABLE'' branches. Features are only added to these
|
||||||
|
branches after some amount of testing in CURRENT. At the
|
||||||
|
moment, only one STABLE branch is under active development;
|
||||||
|
this branch is referred to as ``4-STABLE'', and all of the
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 4.<tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> releases
|
||||||
|
were based on it. This branch has the tag <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"LITERAL">RELENG_4</tt> in the CVS repository.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>FreeBSD 5.0 will be based on the CURRENT branch. This
|
||||||
|
will be the first release from this branch in over two
|
||||||
|
years (the last was FreeBSD 4.0, in March 2000).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>At some point after the release of FreeBSD 5.0, a
|
||||||
|
``5-STABLE'' branch will be created in the FreeBSD CVS
|
||||||
|
repository with the branch tag <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"LITERAL">RELENG_5</tt>. The past two stable branches
|
||||||
|
(3-STABLE and 4-STABLE) were created immediately after
|
||||||
|
their respective ``dot-oh'' releases (3.0 and 4.0,
|
||||||
|
respectively). In hindsight, this practice did not give
|
||||||
|
sufficient time for either CURRENT or the new STABLE
|
||||||
|
branches to stabilize after the new branches were
|
||||||
|
created.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Therefore, the release engineering team will only create
|
||||||
|
the 5-STABLE branch in the CVS repository after they have
|
||||||
|
found a relatively stable state to use as its basis. It is
|
||||||
|
likely that there will be multiple releases in the 5.<tt
|
||||||
|
class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> series before this
|
||||||
|
happens; we estimate that the 5-STABLE branch will be
|
||||||
|
created sometime after 5.1-RELEASE or 5.2-RELEASE.</p>

<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN43">3 New Features</a></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A large attraction of FreeBSD 5.0 is a number of new
|
||||||
|
features. These new features and functionality generally
|
||||||
|
involve large architectural changes that were not feasible
|
||||||
|
to port back to the FreeBSD 4-STABLE development branch.
|
||||||
|
(By contrast, many self-contained enhancements, such as new
|
||||||
|
device drivers or userland utilities, have already been
|
||||||
|
ported.) A brief, but not exhaustive list includes:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>SMPng: The ``next generation'' support for SMP
|
||||||
|
machines (work in progress). There is now partial
|
||||||
|
support for multiple processors to be running in the
|
||||||
|
kernel at the same time.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>KSE: Kernel Scheduled Entities allow a single
|
||||||
|
process to have multiple kernel-level threads, similar
|
||||||
|
to Scheduler Activations.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>New architectures: Support for the sparc64 and ia64
|
||||||
|
architectures, in addition to the i386, pc98, and
|
||||||
|
alpha.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>GCC: The compiler toolchain is now based on GCC
|
||||||
|
3.<tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt>, rather than
|
||||||
|
GCC 2.95.<tt class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt>.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>MAC: Support for extensible, loadable Mandatory
|
||||||
|
Access Control policies.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>GEOM: A flexible framework for transformations of
|
||||||
|
disk I/O requests. An experimental disk encryption
|
||||||
|
facility has been developed based on GEOM.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>FFS: The FFS filesystem now supports background <a
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fsck&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
|
||||||
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
|
||||||
|
"REFENTRYTITLE">fsck</span>(8)</span></a> operations
|
||||||
|
(for faster crash recovery) and filesystem
|
||||||
|
snapshots.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>UFS2: A new UFS2 on-disk format has been added,
|
||||||
|
which supports extended per-file attributes and larger
|
||||||
|
file sizes.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>Cardbus: Support for Cardbus devices.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||

|
Adoption</a></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Along with the new features of FreeBSD 5.0 come some
|
||||||
|
areas that can cause problems, or at least can lead to
|
||||||
|
unexpected behavior. Generally, these come from the fact
|
||||||
|
that a number of features are works-in-progress. A partial
|
||||||
|
list of these areas of difficulty includes:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>A number of features are not yet finished. Examples
|
||||||
|
from the feature list above include SMPng and KSE.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>Because of changes in kernel data structures and
|

ABIs/APIs, third-party binary device drivers will

|

|
|

<li>
|

|
<p>Several parts of FreeBSD's base system functionality
|
||||||
|
have been moved to the Ports Collection. Notable
|
||||||
|
examples include <b class="APPLICATION">Perl</b>, <b
|
||||||
|
class="APPLICATION">UUCP</b>, and most (but not all)
|
||||||
|
games. While these programs are still supported, their
|
||||||
|
removal from the base system may cause some
|
||||||
|
confusion.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>A number of ports and packages do not build or do
|
||||||
|
not run correctly under FreeBSD 5.0, whereas they did
|
||||||
|
under FreeBSD 4-STABLE. Generally these problems are
|
||||||
|
caused by compiler toolchain changes or cleanups of
|
||||||
|
header files.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>Because FreeBSD 5.0 is the first release from the
|
||||||
|
CURRENT branch in over two years, many of its features
|
||||||
|
are seeing wide exposure for the first time. Many of
|
||||||
|
these features (such as SMPng) have broad impacts on
|
||||||
|
the kernel.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>A certain amount of debugging and diagnostic code is
|
||||||
|
still in place to help track down problems in FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
5.0's new features. This may cause FreeBSD 5.0 to
|
||||||
|
perform more slowly than 4-STABLE.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
<p>Features are only added to the 4-STABLE development
|
||||||
|
branch after a ``settling time'' in -CURRENT. FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
5.0 does not have the stabilizing influence of a
|
||||||
|
-STABLE branch. (It is likely that the 5-STABLE
|
||||||
|
development branch will be created sometime after
|
||||||
|
5.1-RELEASE or 5.2-RELEASE.)</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Because a number of these drawbacks affect system
|
||||||
|
stability, the release engineering team recommends that
|
||||||
|
more conservative sites and users stick to releases based
|
||||||
|
on the 4-STABLE branch until the 5.<tt class=
|
||||||
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> series is more polished.</p>

<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN95">5 Plans for the 4-STABLE
|
||||||
|
Branch</a></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The release of FreeBSD 5.0 does not mean the end of the
|
||||||
|
4-STABLE branch. There will be at least one more release on
|
||||||
|
this branch, namely 4.8-RELEASE, currently scheduled for 1
|
||||||
|
February 2003.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As of this writing, the release engineering team has no
|
||||||
|
definite plans for future releases (past 4.8) on the
|
||||||
|
4-STABLE branch. However, a 4.9-RELEASE or even a
|
||||||
|
4.10-RELEASE are likely possibilities. Any future releases
|
||||||
|
from this branch will depend on several factors. The most
|
||||||
|
important of these is the existence and stability of the
|
||||||
|
5-STABLE branch. If CURRENT is not sufficiently stable to
|
||||||
|
allow the creation of a 5-STABLE branch, this may require
|
||||||
|
and permit more releases from the 4-STABLE branch. Until
|
||||||
|
the last declared release on the 4-STABLE branch, new
|
||||||
|
features may be merged from HEAD at the discretion of
|
||||||
|
developers, subject to existing release engineering
|
||||||
|
policies.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To some extent, the release engineering team will take
|
||||||
|
into account user demand for future 4-STABLE releases. This
|
||||||
|
demand, however, will need to be balanced with release
|
||||||
|
engineering resources (in terms of personnel, computing
|
||||||
|
resources, and mirror archive space).</p>

|
||||||
|
href=

|
"mailto:security-officer@FreeBSD.org">security-officer@FreeBSD.org</a>></tt>
|

will continue to support releases made from the 4-STABLE

Generally, the two most recent releases from any branch

security fixes. At its discretion, the team may support

|
||||||
|
Upgrading</a></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For those users with existing FreeBSD systems, this
|
||||||
|
section offers a few notes on upgrading a FreeBSD 4.<tt
|
||||||
|
class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> system to 5.<tt class=
|
||||||
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt>. As with any FreeBSD upgrade,
|
||||||
|
it is crucial to read the release notes and the errata for
|
||||||
|
the version in question, as well as <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"FILENAME">src/UPDATING</tt> for source upgrades.</p>
|
||||||
|
|

<div class="SECT2">

|

|
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN109">6.1 Binary
|
||||||
|
Upgrades</a></h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Probably the most straightforward approach is that of
|
||||||
|
``backup everything, reformat, reinstall, and restore
|
||||||
|
everything''. This eliminates problems of incompatible or
|
||||||
|
obsolete executables or configuration files polluting the
|
||||||
|
new system.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As of this time, the binary upgrade option in <a href=
|
||||||
|
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
|
||||||
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
|
||||||
|
"REFENTRYTITLE">sysinstall</span>(8)</span></a> has not
|
||||||
|
been well-tested for cross-major-version upgrades. Using
|
||||||
|
this feature is not recommended.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>On the i386 and pc98 platforms, a UserConfig utility
|
||||||
|
exists on 4-STABLE to allow boot-time configuration of
|
||||||
|
ISA devices when booting from installation media. Under
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 5.0, this functionality has been replaced in part
|
||||||
|
by the <a href=
|
||||||
|
"http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=device.hints&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current">
|
||||||
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
|
||||||
|
"REFENTRYTITLE">device.hints</span>(5)</span></a>
|
||||||
|
mechanism (it allows specifying the same parameters, but
|
||||||
|
is not interactive).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Floppy-based binary installations may require
|
||||||
|
downloading a third, new floppy image holding additional
|
||||||
|
device drivers in kernel modules. This <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"FILENAME">drivers.flp</tt> floppy image will generally
|
||||||
|
be found in the same location as the usual <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"FILENAME">kern.flp</tt> and <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"FILENAME">mfsroot.flp</tt> floppy images.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>CDROM-based installations on the i386 architecture now
|
||||||
|
use a ``no-emulation'' boot loader. This allows, among
|
||||||
|
other things, the use of a <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"LITERAL">GENERIC</tt> kernel, rather than the
|
||||||
|
stripped-down kernel on the floppy images. In theory, any
|
||||||
|
system capable of booting the Microsoft Windows NT 4
|
||||||
|
installation CDROMs should be able to cope with the
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 5.0 CDROMs.</p>

|

<p>Reading <tt class="FILENAME">src/UPDATING</tt> is

absolutely essential. The section entitled ``To upgrade

<p><b class="APPLICATION">Perl</b> has been removed from
|
||||||
|
the base system. The recommended way of installing Perl
|
||||||
|
is either from a pre-built package or from the Ports
|
||||||
|
Collection. Building Perl as a part of the base system
|
||||||
|
created a number of difficulties which made updates
|
||||||
|
problematic. The base system utilities that used Perl
|
||||||
|
have either been rewritten (if still applicable) or
|
||||||
|
discarded (if obsolete).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>It is generally possible to run old 4.<tt class=
|
||||||
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt> executables under 5.<tt
|
||||||
|
class="REPLACEABLE"><i>X</i></tt>, but this requires the
|
||||||
|
<tt class="FILENAME">compat4x</tt> distribution to be
|
||||||
|
installed. Thus, using old ports <span class=
|
||||||
|
"emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">may</i></span> be
|
||||||
|
possible.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>When installing or upgrading over the top of an
|
||||||
|
existing 4-STABLE-based system, it is extremely important
|
||||||
|
to clear out old header files in <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"FILENAME">/usr/include</tt>. Renaming or moving this
|
||||||
|
directory before a binary installation or an <tt class=
|
||||||
|
"LITERAL">installworld</tt> is generally sufficient. If
|
||||||
|
this step is not taken, confusion may result (especially
|
||||||
|
with C++ programs) as the compiler may wind up using a
|
||||||
|
mixture of obsolete and current header files.</p>

FreeBSD -CURRENT systems before 13 August 2001 may need to
|
||||||
|
be recompiled. Due to previously unforseen compatability
|
||||||
|
problems, this change <span class="emphasis"><i class=
|
||||||
|
"EMPHASIS">may</i></span> be reverted prior to 5.0-RELEASE
|
||||||
|
and postponed for another release or two.</p>

<p>This section describes the devices currently known to be

|
supported by with FreeBSD on the IA-64 platform. Other

|
configurations may also work, but simply have not been

tested yet. Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list

are encouraged.</p>
|

|
|

<p>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
|

|
class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a

manual page in the FreeBSD base distribution (most should),

it is referenced here.</p>

Overview</a></h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A word of caution: the installed base for
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD/sparc64 is not nearly as large as for
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD/Intel. This means that the enormous variation of
|
||||||
|
PCI/ISA expansion cards out there has much less chance of
|
||||||
|
having been tested on sparc64 than on Intel. This is not
|
||||||
|
to imply they are doomed to fail, just that the chance of
|
||||||
|
running into something never tested before is much
|
||||||
|
higher. <tt class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> contains things
|
||||||
|
that are known to work on sparc64 only.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The PCI bus is fully supported. SBus support is
|
||||||
|
limited, but is reported to work well enough to netboot
|
||||||
|
an SBus-based Ultra 2 workstation.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>1.44 Mbyte floppy drives are <span class="emphasis"><i
|
||||||
|
class="EMPHASIS">not</i></span> yet supported.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>ATA and ATAPI (IDE) devices are supported via the <a

|

|
|

|
<p>There is full SCSI support via the CAM layer. However,
|
||||||
|
only NCR/Symbios cards are currently working. Adaptec
|
||||||
|
2940x (AIC 7xxx chip-based) and <a href=

<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=

supported soon. Be aware that SCSI cards must contain Sun
|
||||||
|
FCODE in order to use them as a boot device from
|
||||||
|
OpenBoot.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you want to boot your sparc64 over the Ethernet you
|
||||||
|
will obviously need an Ethernet card that the OpenBoot
|
||||||
|
console recognizes.</p>

<p>The EBus is specific to Sun hardware, so drivers need

|
to have support added to work with these devices. It is

|
quite similar to ISA, so that ISA drivers can usually be
|
||||||
|
easily ported, provided that they use the bus space
|

|
interface, and not in[bwl]/out[bwl] and related

functions. DMA is not yet supported.</p>

<p>This distribution is a snapshot of FreeBSD 5.0-DP2, the
|

|
latest point along the 5-CURRENT branch.</p>

<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN16">1.1 About
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD</a></h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite
|
||||||
|
for Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen ``x86'' based PC
|
||||||
|
hardware, Compaq (formerly DEC) Alpha computers, and
|
||||||
|
UltraSPARC machines. Versions for the IA64 and PowerPC
|
||||||
|
architectures are currently under development as well.
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD works with a wide variety of peripherals and
|
||||||
|
configurations and can be used for everything from
|
||||||
|
software development to games to Internet Service
|
||||||
|
Provision.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need
|
||||||
|
to run such a system, including full source code for the
|
||||||
|
kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With
|
||||||
|
the source distribution installed, you can literally
|
||||||
|
recompile the entire system from scratch with one
|
||||||
|
command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or
|
||||||
|
users who simply want to see how it all works.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A large collection of third-party ported software (the
|
||||||
|
``Ports Collection'') is also provided to make it easy to
|
||||||
|
obtain and install all your favorite traditional UNIX
|
||||||
|
utilities for FreeBSD. Each ``port'' consists of a set of
|
||||||
|
scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a
|
||||||
|
piece of software, with a single command. Over 7,600
|
||||||
|
ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical
|
||||||
|
applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive
|
||||||
|
operating environment that extends far beyond what's
|
||||||
|
provided by many commercial versions of UNIX. Most ports
|
||||||
|
are also available as pre-compiled ``packages'', which
|
||||||
|
can be quickly installed from the installation
|
||||||
|
program.</p>

Audience</a></h2>

|
|
||||||
|
<p>This snapshot is aimed primarily at early adopters and
|
||||||
|
various other users who want to get involved with the
|
||||||
|
ongoing development of FreeBSD. While the FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
development team tries its best to ensure that each
|
||||||
|
snapshot works as advertised, 5-CURRENT is very much a
|
||||||
|
work-in-progress.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The basic requirements for using this snapshot are
|
||||||
|
technical proficiency with FreeBSD and an understanding
|
||||||
|
of the ongoing development process of FreeBSD 5-CURRENT
|
||||||
|
(as discussed on the FreeBSD-CURRENT mailing list <tt
|
||||||
|
class="EMAIL"><<a href=
|
||||||
|
"mailto:freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org</a>></tt>).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For those more interested in doing business with
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD than in experimenting with new FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
technology, formal releases (such as 4.5-RELEASE) are
|
||||||
|
frequently more appropriate. Releases undergo a period of
|
||||||
|
testing and quality assurance checking to ensure high
|
||||||
|
reliability and dependability.</p>

FreeBSD</a></h1>
|

|
|

<p>FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This

section focuses on those ways that are primarily useful for

obtaining a complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than

updating an existing installation.</p>

|

|
|

|
<p>FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM
|
||||||
|
or DVD from several publishers. This is frequently the
|
||||||
|
most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new
|
||||||
|
installations, as it provides a convenient way to quickly
|
||||||
|
reinstall the system if necessary. Some distributions
|

|
include some of the optional, precompiled ``packages''

|
from the FreeBSD Ports Collection.</p>

|
its optional packages from <a href=

|
||||||
|
Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which
|
||||||
|
to download the distribution is highly recommended.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Mirrors generally contain the floppy disk images
|
||||||
|
necessary to begin an installation, as well as the
|
||||||
|
distribution files needed for the install process itself.

create a CDROM of a FreeBSD release.</p>

are of course even more welcome.</p>
|

|
|

<p>The preferred method to submit bug reports from a

<p>As with almost all UNIX-like operating systems,

FreeBSD comes with a set of on-line manual pages,

accessed through the <a href=

|
information on the different commands and APIs available
|

|
to the FreeBSD user.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In some cases, manual pages are written to given

information on particular topics. Notable examples of

such manual pages are <a href=

FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ (Frequently Asked

<p>A number of on-line books and articles, also

maintained by the FreeBSD Project, cover

more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics. This material
|
||||||
|
spans a wide range of topics, from effective use of the
|
||||||
|
mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other
|
||||||
|
operating systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like
|
||||||
|
the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from
|
||||||
|
the FreeBSD Documentation Page or in the <tt class=

|

|
Because of FreeBSD's strong UNIX heritage, many other
