- Move includes.nav*.sgml to share/sgml/navibar.ent and
<lang>/share/sgml/navibar.l10n.ent.
- Move includes.sgml and includes.xsl to
share/sgml/common.ent, share/sgml/header.ent, <lang>/share/sgml/l10n.ent,
and <lang>?share/sgml/header.l10n.ent.
- Move most of XSLT libraries to share/sgml/*.xsl and
<lang>/share/sgml/*.xsl.
- Move news.xml and other *.xml files for the similar purpose
to share/sgml/*.xml and <lang>/share/sgml/*.xml.
- Switch to use a custom DTD for HTML document. Now we use
"-//FreeBSD//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional-Based Extension", which is
HTML 4.01 + some entities previously pulled via
"<!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes;" line.
The location of entity file will be resolved by using catalog file.
- Add DOCTYPE declearation to XML documents. This makes the followings
possible:
* Use of &foo; entities for SGML in an XML file instead of defining
{$foo} as the same content.
* &symbolic; entities for Latin characters.
- Duplicated information between SGML and XML, or English and
translated doc, has been removed as much as possible.

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!
