 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>This distribution is a release of FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE. This is a ``point release''.
 | |
| It exists primarily to address some specific issues found (after-the-fact) in the FreeBSD
 | |
| 5.2-RELEASE distribution. Changes made for this point release are described, in the
 | |
| release notes. Generally speaking, the features of this release are unchanged compared to
 | |
| FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE.</p>

 | |
| <h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN26" name="AEN26">1.1 About FreeBSD</a></h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen
 | |
| ``x86'' based PC hardware (<span class="TRADEMARK">i386</span>™), NEC PC-9801/9821
 | |
| series PCs and compatibles (pc98), DEC/Compaq/HP Alpha computers (alpha), and <span
 | |
| class="TRADEMARK">UltraSPARC</span>® machines (<span
 | |
| class="TRADEMARK">Sparc64</span>®). Versions for the IA64 (ia64), <span
 | |
| class="TRADEMARK">PowerPC</span>® (<span class="TRADEMARK">PowerPC</span>), and AMD
 | |
| ``Hammer'' (amd64) architectures are currently under development as well. FreeBSD works
 | |
| with a wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be used for everything from
 | |
| software development to games to Internet Service Provision.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run such a system, including
 | |
| full source code for the kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With the
 | |
| source distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire system from scratch
 | |
| with one command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or users who simply want to
 | |
| see how it all works.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>A large collection of third-party ported software (the ``Ports Collection'') is also
 | |
| provided to make it easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional <span
 | |
| class="TRADEMARK">UNIX</span>® utilities for FreeBSD. Each ``port'' consists of a set
 | |
| of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a piece of software, with a single
 | |
| command. Over 10,000 ports, from editors to programming languages to graphical
 | |
| applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive operating environment that
 | |
| extends far beyond what's provided by many commercial versions of <span
 | |
| class="TRADEMARK">UNIX</span>. Most ports are also available as pre-compiled
 | |
| ``packages'', which can be quickly installed from the installation program.</p>

 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This section focuses on those ways that
 | |
| are primarily useful for obtaining a complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than updating
 | |
| an existing installation.</p>

| 
 | |
| <div class="SECT2">

 | |
| <h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN49" name="AEN49">2.1 CDROM and DVD</a></h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several publishers.
 | |
| This is frequently the most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new installations, as it
 | |
| provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if necessary. Some
 | |
| distributions include some of the optional, precompiled ``packages'' from the FreeBSD
 | |
| Ports Collection.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>A list of the CDROM and DVD publishers known to the project are listed in the <a
 | |

 | |
| <h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN56" name="AEN56">2.2 FTP</a></h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>You can use FTP to retrieve FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from <a
 | |
| href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/" target="_top">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/</a>, which is the
 | |
| official FreeBSD release site, or any of its ``mirrors''.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>Lists of locations that mirror FreeBSD can be found in the <a
 | |
| href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html"

 | |
| href="http://mirrorlist.FreeBSD.org/" target="_top">http://mirrorlist.FreeBSD.org/</a>
 | |
| Web pages. Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which to download the
 | |
| distribution is highly recommended.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact <code class="EMAIL"><<a
 | |
| href="mailto:freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org</a>></code> for

| FreeBSD</a> article.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>Mirrors generally contain the floppy disk images necessary to begin an installation,
 | |
| as well as the distribution files needed for the install process itself. Many mirrors
 | |
| also contain the ISO images necessary to create a CDROM of a FreeBSD release.</p>
