It took a lot longer than I expected, but the results look much nicer than I had expected, as well.. :-) I will mail my finished document to everyone on this list for review. Simple instructions for viewing SGML: Download the rest of the handbook in SGML source from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/ Insert the chapter that I will be uploading tonight and apply my patches to the table of contents and authors list. Type "sgmlfmt -html handbook.sgml" and wait (and wait)... It will output several hundred small HTML documents, with the main table of contents as "handbook.html", which you can view with Netscape. The 'sgmlfmt' command is included with FreeBSD 2.0.5 and above so you shouldn't need to download it. You can also generate ASCII and several other formats, read the man page for more details... Anyway, I have about two hours of work ahead of me finishing the formatting, and I probably won't get to the sections on soundcard and System V options, but otherwise it's 95% completed and I will post it to this mailing list before midnight Pacific time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Sep 3 17:37:04 1995 Return-Path: doc-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA07365 for doc-outgoing; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:37:04 -0700 Received: from localhost.lightside.com (user43.lightside.com [198.81.209.43]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA07359 for ; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:37:02 -0700 Received: (from jehamby@localhost) by localhost.lightside.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id RAA00888; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:37:31 -0700 Date: Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:37:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Jake Hamby X-Sender: jehamby@localhost To: Deborah Gronke Bennett , doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: The FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 5 (Reconfiguring the Kernel) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: doc-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > Simple instructions for viewing SGML: Download the rest of the handbook > in SGML source from: > > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/ > Oops, you don't have to download everything in that directory, just: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/doc/handbook/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Sep 3 17:54:35 1995 Return-Path: doc-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id RAA07783 for doc-outgoing; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:54:35 -0700 Received: from fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA07777 for ; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 17:54:34 -0700 Received: (from jfieber@localhost) by fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA01028; Sun, 3 Sep 1995 19:54:28 -0500 Date: Sun, 3 Sep 1995 19:54:28 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber To: Jake Hamby cc: Deborah Gronke Bennett , doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: The FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 5 (Reconfiguring the Kernel) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: doc-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 3 Sep 1995, Jake Hamby wrote: > Simple instructions for viewing SGML: Download the rest of the handbook > in SGML source from: > > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/ > > Insert the chapter that I will be uploading tonight and apply my patches > to the table of contents and authors list.

If you stay at 2.0.5-RELEASE *and* you destroy ../../compile/WHATEVER anytime you config a kernel file, it should work. If you're current or using "-n" to config your kernel, then you'll have problem anytime someone add something to conf.c or when you add a driver. > Not reassuring - I just ran it for my most recent kernel, and it didn't > immediately pass.

I am trying to install FreeBSD from floppy and they fail to extract on the system. I have tried putting the bin.* chunks in the floppy root directory, and in a directory named /bin. Next I am going to try /freebsd, hopefully this will work. You may wish to update the handbook to tell the correct directory to put the files. I finally got it to work by telling it to commit and then it asked for the files in /bin. One of my disks seems to be bad, 9 of 12, it asked if i wanted to retry and I said yes, and now it is prompting for the manpages disk instead of the bad bin disk.
