The emulators/xen package does not exist anymore and there are two versions
now. One is for Xen 4.7, intended for FreeBSD 11. The other is for -CURRENT
and uses a more modern Xen 4.11. Adjust the description and examples to
differentiate the two.
The old 4.7 packages use dom0pvh=1 on the commandline, while Xen 4.11 is
using dom0=pvh. Adjust those two as well for the supported FreeBSD versions.
remove dead link
The link points to the homepage of a website that does not appear to
host documentation anymore.
Update to r50533:
Fix a broken link to the "Online Guide for newcomers to the UNIX environment."
handbook: don't claim Firefox is "fully ported" browser
Firefox on FreeBSD is supported by FreeBSD community, not by Mozilla.
Over the years a number of unimplemented features grew larger and
stability degraded. No need to mislead users the experience will
be similar to Window/macOS/Linux.
handbook: stop comparing rsync to rcp
Users are more likely to be familiar with rsync, we no longer have rcp,
and the comparison didn't provide much value in the first place.
Drop if_tap, sort kld_list
Modules are auto-loaded by ifconfig so there is no reason to explicitly list them.
Update to r51540:
handbook: prefer use of kld_list over loader.conf
While these are not semantically identical, prefer using kld_list where
possible.
handbook] remove two links from the zfs links page
These two links just go to ads pages. For the "evil tuning guide" I was
able to find find some pages with a similar title but they are
years old and don't give current advice. For "ZFS Best Practices Guide"
there are many variants and none seemed particularly worthwhile to link.
[handbook] eresources: remove serveral old resources
If the newsgroup fulfils any of the following:
- is mostly or entirely spam
- has no recent activity
- is inaccessible
Improve the instructions for growing disks
The previous instructions did not explaina all of the steps, and lacked
information to explain to the user which numbers and device names they
might need to change for their circumstances
[handbook] Add 2018 to copyright
Update to r51261:
Update website to make 11.0 unsupported now that it is EoL.
Update to r51016:
change download links from ftp to download.freebsd.org
Reduce the impact of example $FreeBSD$ version strings by enclosing them
in <phrase> elements. The its:notranslate property can then be set on
these individual lines rather than a whole <screen> or <programlisting>.
Document jail.conf Jail configuration
jail.conf is the preferred method of configuring jails in all supported
FreeBSD versions. Older rc.conf(5) configuration produces a warning.
Update the handbook example to match based on the submission in the PR,
with a few modifications.
