<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>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 and on mirror sites.</p>
<p>These files are located
in the top-level directory of each distribution. Both
HTML and text forms are usually provided.</p>
<h2>Snapshot Versions of FreeBSD</h2>
<p>The release documentation files for snapshots are generally
in the top-level directory of each snapshot.</p>
<h2>Documentation for -CURRENT and -STABLE</h2>
<p>HTML versions of the release
documentation for FreeBSD -CURRENT and FreeBSD -STABLE are
available on the FreeBSD web site. These documents are
continually changing and automatically generated. The versions on the web site are rebuilt
at the same time that the rest of the web site is updated.</p>
