Another is that the Handbook? Perhaps we should call it the "FreeBSD Library" or something similar because it was _well_ over 300+ pages last time i looked :) From a few minutes thought it seems a difficult task to know at which level to aim the handbook, the FAQ's, the tutorials (etc).

Now, some of you may be wondering ``how does this project work?'' Let me first state that the development of FreeBSD is a very open process, despite certain popular misconceptions to the contrary. In fact, FreeBSD is built upon the effort of hundreds of people around the world, as you can see from our and we are always very eager to import suggestions and even new people into our project. Let me explain the organization we use to translate ideas and code from this vast amalgam of programmers into concrete bits and bytes in our central code tree. The CVS tree and committers

The central source tree of FreeBSD is maintained by CVS (Concurrent Versions System). The main CVS tree resides on a computer in Concord, Calif., USA. The CVS tree, as well as the checked-out copy of the source tree (the source tree) is mirrored across many machines all over the world. You can even have one on your own machine! (There are several ways to accomplish this; please refer to the section for more information.)

The are the people who have write access to the CVS tree, and thus are the ones who are authorized to make modifications to the FreeBSD source. (The name ``committer'' comes from the cvs(1) command ``commit''.) The length of the list of committers shows just how eager we are to invite people to become more actively involved in FreeBSD development! The FreeBSD core team

The is equivalent to the board of directors if the FreeBSD Project were a company. The primary task of the core team is to make sure the project, as a whole, is in good shape and is heading to the right direction. Inviting dedicated and responsible developers to join our group of committers is only one of them. Maintaining the core-team roster as some members move on is another; in fact, all of the core-team members (except for the founders of the project) were once regular committers, whose addiction to the project have gotten the best of them.

Also, many core-team members have specialized Note that most of the core are completely volunteers when it comes to FreeBSD development and do not benefit from the project financially. Thus, the ``board of directors'' analogy above is not very accurate; it may be more suitable to say that these are the people who gave up their lives in favor of FreeBSD against their better judgements! ;) Additional contributors

And last but not least, the largest group of people are the users who provide feedback and bug-fixes to us. Here are of the people who wrote something that made its way into our main source tree, most of them regular users; by contributing something back to FreeBSD, you can be on this list too!

Providing code is not the only way to contribute to the project; for a more complete list, please refer to the section in this handbook. To summarize, our development is organized in sort of concentric circles. This centralized model is designed for the convenience of the users of FreeBSD, who are thereby provided with an easy way of tracking one central code base, not to keep potential contributors out! Our desire is to to present a stable operating system with a large set of coherent that the users can easily install and use, and this model works very well to accomplish it.

As I mentioned above, individuals who have shown a consistent and significant dedication to the project are even often asked to join the FreeBSD core team to help in setting the project's overall directions and goals, so truly no part of the project is closed to additional members. All we ask of those wishing for closer ties to this project is some of the same dedication its current members have to its continued success! === Enjoy!

I just committed fixes that are straightforward enough. It still leaves a couple of questions, all in the last section ("If something goes wrong"): (1) Can I just type "kernel.old" to boot the old kernel? I was always taught to type "/kernel.old". I can try it at next reboot, but it will be a while (hopefully :). (2) I thought ps(1) and friends use "sysctl -n kern.bootfile" (or the equivalent system call) to find the name of the kernel, in which case the suggestion to move the working kernel to "/kernel" is outdated, and should probably be changed to "move working kernel to /kernel, also do sysctl -w kern.bootfile=/kernel so that ps(1) et al. will continue to work properly". (3) You may want to add a section "Kernel works, but I lost all network services!". It happened once on a -current kernel. It was fixed by recompiling ifconfig. It's caused by the same reason as ps failures (libkvm mismatch), but looks much more chaotic (the system spews all sorts of error messages starting from loopback device not being available), so it may warrant a separate section, or at least a special mention, as the user will panic (I sure did, and I've run -current for more than a year ;).

On the subject of controversial topics, I've written a number of answers to FAQs such as "why don't you use the GPL", "why do FreeBSD people hate Linux", "which is better, FreeBSD and XYZ" and "why are the FreeBSD developers so closed and elitist" which I've been meaning to submit for discussion.

I don't have any trouble with a "things your mother never told you about" section per-se, but I'd have to insist that everything in it be *very carefully worded* to exhibit a total lack of bias. Imagine you're a (good) documentary filmmaker doing a piece on neo-NAZI skinheads - some of what you're filming may be personally distasteful but it's not your job to judge it, simply to portray it accurately.

He's not (I think) trying to draw any analogy with Linux/FreeBSD relations, he's referring to the tone of many of the posts that you see on Usenet, when the Linux camp's more strident hotheads decide they've been affronted. Just understand that you'll be speaking both to FreeBSD [newcomers,enthusiasts] AND to a certain percentage of Linux hotheads who no one really wants to stir up. If you can clearly defend anything you say, and you do it evenhandedly, this probably won't be a problem.

So far at least 30 people have requested the original ASCII version. The original was somewhat less featureful than this HTML draft. If you guys like this and wish to include it with the other documentation, I hereby give my permission. ---I would like to see something like this for emacs....about which I have little understanding. --- Anyway, enjoy! gary kline Encl:

Using vi

The vi text editor is a widely available visual, full-screen text editor. vi is a powerful editor, but it is also old--and this shows. vi was created at a time when terminals did not have arrow keys, or even a control key. Because of this, vi is modal: it has several modes it can be in, with its behavior changing depending on mode.




Readers who are at workstation are asked to open a second window and to tryout vi commands as they work through it.

Starting and stopping

To start up vi, change to your home directory and type 

% vi samp
This will start up vi editing a (theoretically) new file named ``samp.'' If samp already exists it will be loaded and displayed upon your screen.

Many different commands can be used to exit vi. Typing 

:wq
will write the file to disk and quit. Typing 
:q
will quit if no changes have been made. If changes have been made then you must type 
:q!
to quit without saving changes. (Note that when you type a colon and are in command mode, the cursor will move to the bottom left corner of your screen.)

``ZZ'' ---without the quotation marks, of course---and note that the Z's must be upper case-- is a synonym for ``:wq''.

These few commands are enough to suggest the main frustration new users have with vi--there are many commands to memorize, and many like ``ZZ'' make no sense at all. They have been added often as add-ons, and are simply part of the program. At first, it is probably best to find one way of doing something and sticking with it. You can and probably will add more skills as your go along.

Inserting text

Right now vi is in command mode. Any key entered is a command to vi.

Try typing ``i'' to enter insert mode. vi inserts all non-control characters typed while in insert mode into the document. Some characters in this mode have special meanings; the backspace key, for example, backs over mistakes.

You cannot, however, use the arrow keys while in insert mode! Try typing something, like the first four lines of the pledge of allegiance if nothing else comes to mind. When you are through typing, to leave insert mode, press the ``ESC'' key.

Pressing any arrow keys while in insert mode (which happens often) causes vi to mess up. If this happens, press ``ESC'' to exit insert mode, then delete the extra line created. You can always hit ``ESC'' to get out of insert mode and fix things that you inadvertantly screwed up.

Text can also inserted by typing ``a''. This will add it following the current character. Press ``ESC'' to get out when you are finished.

Deleting text

To delete an entire line, press ``dd''. To delete a character, press ``x''. ``10dd'' will delete 10 lines, and ``5x'' will delete 5 characters.

If you delete something and want to undo it, press ``u'' for undo. You can undo most commands in vi.

Once you have used ``dd'', the text is placed in a buffer. To move the text you can place the cursor at the point where you want it to appear and then type ``p''. This is equivalent to a block move.

A block is copied by using ``yy'' or ``10yy'' (or use any number instead of 10) to yank into the buffer and then using p normally. ``p''--lower case--places the block below the current line. ``P''--upper case--places the block above the line where your cursor currently is.

Cursor movement

The cursor can be moved with the arrow keys as long as you are not in insertmode. ``h", ``j'', ``k'' and ``l'' also mimic the arrow keys. Backwards, downward, upward, and forward one space or line respectively.

``0'' (zero) will move the cursor to the beginning of the line, ``$'' will take you to the end.

''G'' will go to the end of a file. Typing 

:10
will take you to line 10, and any number can be used in place of 10.

``^F'' (cntl-F) will page forward one screen, ``^B'' goes back one screen.

Replacing text

You can replace a single character by typing ``r'' followed by the new value. Use ``R'' to replace a whole group of characters, and be sure to type ``ESC'' when you are done replacing. Just for safety's sake!

Finding and replacing text

To find a string, type 

/
followed by what you want to find. Note that when you type a slash in vi--in command mode--, your cursor moves to the bottom left-hand corner of your screen.

For example, 

/Pascal
finds the next occurrence of the word ``Pascal,'' starting at the current cursor position.

``n'' finds the next occurrence. To replace text, type 

:s/pascal/Pascal/
This will replace the first occurrence of ``pascal'' with ``Pascal'' 
:1,$s/pascal/Pascal/g
will do the replace globally throughout the document. (From the 1st line, ``1'' to the end, ``$'')
