All those experts out there please take notice Someone new to a subject doesn't need to know about all the bells & whistles, provision of information suitable for an expert will only confuse them further. I believe that documentation should be prepared by the most junior person available and not some geek with 458 years experience .... at least then it will probably contain ALL the necessary steps. The basics of unix are for the most part extremely simple ... its only the documentation that makes it complicated. I've been working on an entry level install / configure text for members of our non-profit internet access group, and in its basic text form this reduces the information needed to some 7 pages of A4. I'm now putting together a picturebook format so that its even more explicit :) The document is intended to allow a total newbie with no prior experience of unix / linux / etc to install FreeBSD & configure it as a gateway, with sendmail, cuciopop, ppp, apache all working with no aggro in only an hour or two. ----- Original Message ----- From: "m l mack" To: Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 7:34 AM Subject: newbies > Dear Sirs, > > As one who doesn't know Unix from Eunuchs, I beg you to consider this > teaching technique.

I am still trying to get my machine completely set up; I guess this is an on going process that never ends. Overall the handbook, tutorials and manpages are excellent. I would like to see more examples included with the manpages. Many manpages, the first time I look at them, are like reading greek; an example or two of the most commonly used variations of a command would save lots of time and errors. The manpages also seem to forget the obvious sometimes. I started playing with crontab recently. To edit a user's crontab, you have to use invoke the command # crontab -u username -e and do this as root. The manpage doesn't mention this anywhere; I got this info from the mailing list archives. I spent four days setting up userland ppp. Mostly because my machine's BIOS was incorrectly setting the speed for the serial port that the modem uses. The instructions were great, but they covered some hundred pages (I cheated and printed them out with the MS Windows machine at work) - ppp manpage, pendantic ppp primer, example ppp.conf file, etc. I have given up on my printer. I have noticed that over the six months of not being able to print that my piles of paper cluttering my home have just about disappeared. I have decided to go 'paperless' at home, with the exception of my weekly grocery list. So some good has come out of not being able to learn how to setup something for my FreeBSD machine. :) Back to troubleshooting crontab and my disapearing mail...

As many of you all are away, Richard Stallman is very concerned with GNU documentation, and is willing to pay out hard fought FSF cash to those who would write documentation. It therefore came as a surprise to me while perusing the gcc man page the following words (paraphrased) "It is hard work maintaining this documentation. We prefer you to use the info pages. If we get too many complaints about this man page we will discontinue it alltogether."

I would vote for WindowMaker. It is the only window manager I've found that behaves with FreeBSD that is not also at the same time drab, boring and user infriendly. I have not tried XFCE since I had to use CDE at work :-( until I broke down and installed WindowMaker in my home directory :-) I do use KDE at home though, and I wonder about the reference to "amateurish". I find it to be quite professional, although it doesn't always play well with non-Linux systems.

It really wasn't that bigger deal (this time I read the online help :-)). Now I have another problem. X will only start in 320x240x8bpp. I ran all the setup programs in the syinstall utility: - XF86Setup runs in 640x480x16 colours. I set everything up and when I click 'done' it runs X.. in 320x240x8bpp. Dunno what's wrong with it. - XF86Config seems to work but I still can't find any acceptable video modes that will work on my machine. I have a Skywell Voodoo Banshee graphics card (w/ 16 megs of RAM) and a Ultra monitor, neither of which are selectable in the program's lists. I only got X to run in the same resolution and colour depth as the XF86Setup program, and even that after an hour or so of struggling. Note this is the exact same problem I had with RedHat, except now I have 2 other setup programs that still don't help. - XF98Setup won't start. After I 'press enter to switch to graphical mode', it just hangs. Which leads to another question: how do I do a warm reset in FreeBSD and Linux? > ya as far as the lilo boot ya there was a button to push, when i ran > redhat uhm it was ahhhhh i think the "delete" key then you would type in > either dos for like windows partitions and uhm otherwise it'd go to redhat Someone else said it was the TAB key but I'll try them both :-) > See screenshotz come in handy =).

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.
