Agreed, it is generally a good idea if you can, but it is useful to know that you can do it without with a little more risk. Also, for some people, a modem attached to serial port could serve this purpose as well, but I don't know how to set that up as the console for single user (another tutorial?)

As long as it is referenced in your tutorial -- there are ALOT of people starting with 2.2.2, as that is is most of the books now, and this problem really through me for a loop.

Worse is the issue of removing files -- ouch, that is hard, as there are so many files in /etc that are not put in by the 2.2-stable release, so it is hard to tell which ones are "old" and should be removed, vs. added by something else. Even your tutorial doesn't help much there. This section really could use some help to make it easier.

I do believe that the above at minimum should be in your tutorial, as the build kernel stuff you refer to is more than what most new people need.

So could someone going from a CD-ROM to a version downloaded from the 'net. At home at the moment I have versions of FreeBSD 2.1.7, 2.2 and 2.2.2 on CD-ROM. I could install any of those and then download the src from the 'net over the top. What I probably need to do is split the existing document into 'n' sections. Section 1 covers the general theory behind 'make world', and all the version independent information, and sections 'n+1 through n+x' go through the bits that are different for each version of FreeBSD that I know about. I'm not sure (yet) how to go about this, since there are a number of changes to the build system that I'm not overly familiar with (the 'buildworld' and 'installworld' targets, for example) I need a 32 hour day, with 8 days a week (and 256 days a year). > At 4:24 AM -0700 10/26/97, nik@iii.co.uk wrote: > >It doesn't really care what method you're using to get the latest source > >code, whether it's CTM, CVS, copying-from-a-CD-you've-just-bought or some > >other distribution method. > > I just think a quick link should be there in your tutorial.

True enough.

I made *exactly* the same mistake 6 months ago (or thereabouts). That's what made me write the tutorial in the first place. And that's why you need to go through the "make distribution" step in /usr/src/etc. > Worse is the issue of removing files -- ouch, that is hard, as there are so > many files in /etc that are not put in by the 2.2-stable release, so it is > hard to tell which ones are "old" and should be removed, vs. added by > something else. Even your tutorial doesn't help much there. This section > really could use some help to make it easier. Assuming you followed the steps in the tutorial, it's basically a case of foreach file in /var/tmp/root/etc/ if the file also exists in /etc * Examine both files, and merge in any changes else Copy the file to /etc end if end for foreach file in /etc if the file does not exist in /var/tmp/root/etc * if the file is not used by a port/package remove it, possibly merging it's functionality into another file end if end if end for The difficult bit is the two lines marked with an asterisk. I wouldn't trust any piece of software to be able to merge in the changes without my intervention, and there's no way for a piece of software to know that (for example) /etc/amanda.conf is used by the AMANDA port, and should be kept, but that /etc/sysconfig has been obsolete by /etc/rc.conf, and can be safely removed. To an extent, it depends how well you know your system. I'm the only admin on my FreeBSD systems, so I know what's installed and what files it uses. If you've got multiple admins working on a bunch of systems then it's up to them to make sure their documentation is kept up to date so they know what files go where. > >If you haven't changed your kernel from the original GENERIC then that will > >also work.

Hmm. No offence intended, but if people can't follow the instructions to build a new kernel then they probably shouldn't be running 'make world'. Screwing up your kernel just makes it slightly trickier to boot (since you can just enter /kernel.old and get your old kernel if you make a mistake). Screwing up 'make world' can leave your system in a very stuffed state. It also puts text in the tutorial that shouldn't (IMHO) be there. That sort of 'kernel build quick start' really belongs in the "Building a new kernel" part of the handbook.

The future of network broadcasting is here! Now is your chance for you to own a Broadcast Affiliate of your very own! Imagine owning an ABC, NBC, or CBS broadcast affiliate. IMBC, the leading audio content provider of the Internet and provider to over 85 countries and millions of listeners world-wide, is making available licenses to broadcast live, original, interactive audio on your web site. ONLY 500 LICENSES ARE AVAILABLE! You do not need any special software or hardware. Just like TV and Radio networks have provided their affiliates, IMBC will provide you with all of the live audio content needed to own your own broadcast affiliate. The recent $100 million purchase of Sportsline by CBS, Microsoft's recent investment in Comcast Cable, its $500 million purchase of WebTv and its concentration on "Channels" in its new version of Internet Explorer, reinforce that the Internet is the broadcasting medium of the future. Not only will your site become more valuable due to the exclusive content, but advertisers will flock to you because you can provide to them both banner and audio advertising. For more information on owning an IMBC affiliate, simply reply or e-mail affiliate@mail.imbc.com with your name and telephone number and state "I would like more information." Thank you for your time! Respectfully yours, The IMBC Team.
