|
<p>Each distribution of FreeBSD includes several documentation
|
|
files describing the particular distribution (RELEASE,
|
|
SNAPSHOTs, etc.). These files typically include:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>README: General introduction.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Release Notes: Information about changes from the
|
|
previous release of FreeBSD.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Hardware Notes: A list of hardware devices known to work
|
|
with FreeBSD.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Installation Instructions: A brief guide to installing
|
|
FreeBSD.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Errata: Late-breaking news, including corrections,
|
|
security advisories, and potential problems found after each
|
|
release.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Of the files listed above, the release notes, hardware notes, and
|
|
installation instructions are customized for each architecture
|
|
supported by FreeBSD.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>RELEASE versions of FreeBSD</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The release documentation for each -RELEASE version of FreeBSD
|
|
(for example, &rel.current;-RELEASE) can be found on the
|
|
<a href="releases/index.html">releases</a> page of
|
|
the FreeBSD Web site, as well as its mirrors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These files (usually in both HTML and text forms) can be found
|
|
in the top-level directory of each distribution (whether on
|
|
CD-ROM, an FTP site, or the install floppy disks).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Snapshot versions of FreeBSD</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The release documentation files for snapshots can generally be
|
|
found in the top-level directory of each snapshot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Documentation for -CURRENT and -STABLE</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Automatically-generated HTML versions of the release
|
|
documentation for FreeBSD -CURRENT and FreeBSD -STABLE are
|
|
available on the FreeBSD Web site. These documents are
|
|
continually changing; the versions on the Web site are rebuilt
|
|
at the same time that the rest of the Web site is updated.</p>
