If there is no such FAQ, I would like to volunteer to write such an FAQ. I am by far no expert, but I have got it to work for me and would like to help others with my newly acquired knowledge. Please can someone tell me if such an FAQ exists. I know there are books available which cover this topic, but there must be GPLd copies available for users. Hi Nathan, I am new to BSD but I have used Linux for years so , if you start this task, please let me know ... I'd like to share my experiences with all FreeBSD new users too.

Make sure the modem and (optionally) /etc/rc.serial is configured correctly. o Use Hardware Handshake (CTS/RTS) for flow control. o Modem should be set to NO echo back (ATE0) and NO results string (ATQ1). 2. Edit /etc/ttys to enable a getty(8) on the port where the modem is attached. For example: ttyd1 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 dialup on secure Don't forget to send a HUP signal to the init(8) process to start the getty(8). # kill -HUP 1 3. Edit /etc/gettytab to enable a pp capability to the same terminal class as your /etc/ttys entry. In our example it is ``std.38400'': std.38400|38400-baud:\ :pp=/etc/ppp/login:im=\r\n:\ :np:sp#38400: /* * I really show here the ``im'' capability too, thats for short login * prompt, just ``login:''. */ 4.

I'd like to suggest an experiment in distributed documentation writing, as follows. I have posted a list of questions about Linux and FreeBSD on my web server at http://freebsd.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/linux.html that people with something to say about this can access and reply to (there's a mailto: tag), answering existing questions or adding questions and answers. I'll then act as the editor and put it together, back on the web page at first (for further contributions or comment), and then I'll post it here for comments and corrections; and from here it can go other places where it might be useful. An important part of this is to put your name and email (or whatever identifier you would like to use) at the end of each answer so that contributors are identified and credited. So, how about trying it?

Well, you certainly won't hear anyone say 'no' to you writing it ;) Go for it, send it in to this list when you're done and we can probably either offer suggestions or say 'Great, we'll get it committed'. Some suggestions: Try to be as thorough as possible, while still keeping it easily readable for less experienced users. BUT, while doing this, keep it short and sweet; one, maybe 2 paragraphs.

Q: Do gcc and cc work the same under FreeBSD as they do under linux? A: Fundamentally yes. The version of GCC in the current FreeBSD release is "v2.7.2.1" and this should behave identically to a GCC v2.7.2.1 compiler under Linux. Numerical programs using floating point may sometimes show different behaviour; FreeBSD does not by default mask off floating point exception conditions like numeric underflow or loss of precision and will attempt to notify the program using a signal when this happens. If the program has not arranged to handle this signal, it will be terminated by the kernel. Some {all?} versions of the Linux kernel do not enable detection of these numeric exceptions by default, and consequently the same programs will run without apparent errors under Linux. The accuracy and reliability of the results generated may not be that expected however. { Is this description accurate? } Q: Does FreeBSD run ELF binaries? (Is that the right question?) A: Yes, FreeBSD can run ELF binaries without any problem. Linux ELF binaries work fine too under Linux emulation, though older binaries may need to be "branded" before use using the `brandelf' utility. { There is a (small) section on "branding" in the Handbook, we could point people to this: ``23.1.4. Installing Linux ELF binaries''.} Q: Will I be able to mount Linux file systems under FreeBSD? A: Yes, you can mount Linux "ext2" file systems under FreeBSD. Use # mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd0s1 /mnt ^^^^^^^^^^ this is the device name for your linux partition Note that the device numbering scheme used by Linux is different from that followed in the BSD world. For example, "/dev/hda" under Linux could appear as "/dev/wd0s1" under the BSD naming scheme. Q: Can I install FreeBSD on the same hard drive as Linux? A: Yes. You can install FreeBSD in another primary partition on the hard disk. { You can even arrange for FreeBSD to use Linux's swap partition, (there was a discussion on this point on -hackers sometime back), but this may be a bit advanced for a introductory howto. } { Note: I think that the default bootloader "booteasy" doesn't support booting from a secondary ("extended") partition. Is this correct? } { We could point people to the FreeBSD+LILO HowTo on the WWW and the FAQ entry on this topic too. } Q: If I install FreeBSD on the same computer on which I've got Linux, will Linux lilo work? A: Yes. See the FAQ ``How do I boot FreeBSD and Linux from LILO?'' and ``How do I boot FreeBSD and Linux using BootEasy?''. -- Koshy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Wed Jul 15 20:01:20 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA01931 for freebsd-doc-outgoing; Wed, 15 Jul 1998 20:01:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from phoenix.welearn.com.au (suebla.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.44.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA01919 for ; Wed, 15 Jul 1998 20:01:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sue@phoenix.welearn.com.au) Received: (from sue@localhost) by phoenix.welearn.com.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA07414; Thu, 16 Jul 1998 13:00:53 +1000 (EST) Message-ID: <19980716130049.65313@welearn.com.au> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 13:00:49 +1000 From: Sue Blake To: Annelise Anderson Cc: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Linux-FreeBSD Q&A References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e In-Reply-To: ; from Annelise Anderson on Wed, Jul 15, 1998 at 01:10:47PM +0000 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, Jul 15, 1998 at 01:10:47PM +0000, Annelise Anderson wrote: > > I'll then act as the editor and put it together, back on the > web page at first (for further contributions or comment), and then > I'll post it here for comments and corrections; and from here it can > go other places where it might be useful. Great idea! but did you see the guy here the other day, a fresh convert from Linux, who (we) volunteered to write something up while the transition is fresh in his mind?

Note that this is part of the Linux Documentation Project. I think we should avoid using the term HOW-TO for FreeBSD documentation to avoid confusion.

Please don't send this kind of question to FreeBSD-doc, a mailing list concerned with improving the documentation of FreeBSD. The correct list is FreeBSD-questions. > I don't know how i can access to a position of memory where a port of the > UART is mapped, I would like to know wich libraries of freeBSD i must to > use and wich instructions. PCs normally don't memory map I/O devices, they address them via a separate address space ("I/O space"). In UNIX (including Linux), the UART is controlled by the system, so you don't "program the UART", you write a driver. You'll find the source in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c. If you really *do* want to access the I/O registers from user space, an action which is strongly deprecated, open /dev/io. See io(4) for (few) more details.
