<td>Installation chapter needs to be updated</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&a.ceri;, &a.keramida;</td>
<td>For 6.1-RELEASE</td>
<td>The installation chapter mostly covers FreeBSD 4.X
installation. The current information is often outdated and not
accurate for 5.X, 6.X and 7.X. We also have to think about
installation on various platforms. This should be done under
re@ team responsability since the installation notes have to be
updated as well.</td>

<td>Printing chapter lacks a quick and easy setup example</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>While this chapter covers in a very accurate way the
configuration of a printer under FreeBSD, a quick and easy printer
setup should be documented, i.e., something describing the
installation and use of apsfilter or equivalent.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>USB printers</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>Nowadays printers use the USB interface, the printing chapter
may need to be updated on this point.</td>

in the current wireless section should be done quickly.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IPsec section</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>For 6.1-RELEASE</td>

only.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>USB audio</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>For 6.1-RELEASE</td>
<td>One should check if we need to update the sound section for
USB devices or if the current guidances are still correct with
these devices.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>The Emergency Restore Procedure section (16.12.8)</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>This section is really outdated and needs a serious
"facelifting." We must show how to restore a system using the
livefs from disc1. The rescue system should also be
covered.</td>

<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&a.murray;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>Backing up on optical media (CD/DVD) should be presented.</td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>The use of Makefile facilities should be introduced for the
sendmail configuration instead of the old outdated way.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>inetd</td>
<td>&status.done;</td>
<td>&a.ceri;</td>
<td>For 6.1-RELEASE</td>
<td>The configuration of inetd changed a bit in 6.X, one should
check if the related section is still correct.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bsnmpd</td>
<td>&status.new;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>The bsnmpd daemon is quite new and its configuration may be
complex. The minimal common settings should be introduced in a
section of the Network Servers chapter.</td>
