Faulhaber >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386 >Organization: BUGO - BSD Users Group of Orlando >Environment: FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386 >Description: Various fixes to faq/book.sgml: * Changed various entries from 3.2 to 3.3. * Updated the entries to correspond to the new directory structure at ftp.freebsd.org (/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/xxx) * Removed reference to RELENG_2_2 snapshots which no longer exist. * Added reference to allscreens_flags="-m on" for using moused on all virtual terminals. * Added note that 3.3-RELEASE has 8 virtual terminals by default. In addition, it might be noted that the FAQ references both virtual consoles and terminals throughout; should this be standardized to one or the other? >How-To-Repeat: RTFM^HFAQ :) >Fix: Index: doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.12 diff -c -r1.12 book.sgml *** book.sgml 1999/09/23 08:43:54 1.12 --- book.sgml 1999/09/25 20:05:16 *************** *** 122,129 **** <qandaentry><question> <para>What is the latest version of FreeBSD?</para></question><answer> ! <para>Version <ulink URL="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.2-RELEASE/">3.2</ulink>; is the latest <emphasis>stable</emphasis> version; it was released ! in May, 1999.
