TIRED OF ENDLESSLY POSTING YOUR ONLINE CLASSIFIED AD AND GETTING
NO RESULTS?
There are over 7000 such sites scattered about the web;
and quite frankly, none of them generate enough traffic to be worth
your
while. Even when someone finds or visits one of these sites, your
ad is hopelessly lost in a myriad of similar offerings.
Another frustration is search engines. If you are not in the Top 10,
forget about high-traffic on your web site. Not everyone can be
in the Top 10 and stay there; when there are estimates of four million
web pages!
How do we know? We know because that's exactly what we used to do.
The greatest way of marketing this century is undoubtedly direct
e-mail. It's similar to the postman delivering a letter to your
mailbox. There is NO stumbling on to it! The ability to promote your

millions instantly is what advertisers have been dreaming of for over
100 years. We will e-mail your one page promotion to a list of our

Do we currently do anything with the elements ?
Perhaps overhauling search.cgi to score on these terms would be an
advantage, as imho it's currently nearly useless.
Having search.cgi return a few lines of context would be good too.
WAIS is deep magic as far as I'm concerned, so I can't comment on how
easy these tasks would be.

>Description:
The a.out(5) man page states that nobody agrees on what the
abbreviation bss stands for.
This appears to be incorrect; after discussing on IRC and checking
various sites on the internet everybody seems to agree upon the
fact that it stands for "Block Started by Symbol".

Check the BUGS section of the a.out(5) man page, rev 1.13.

You may want to consult with Nik Clayton and the FreeBSD
Documentation (nik@FreeBSD.org and doc@FreeBSD.org respectively)
on this. We are currently in the process of updating the Web
site's layout anyway, making a more extensive use of XML and XSLT
than before (or at least, a more _proper_ use).
That is, if you're serious about helping. :)

I've written a handbook entry on installing linux Matlab.
It will need some minor proofing, but I think it complies
with the format of the existing sgml. Its modeled on the Mathematica
section, and has been tested with two varieties of Matlab.
If this isn't the right place to send it, please let me know.
Thanks.

Installing MATLAB Version 6applicationsMATLABThis document describes the process of installing the Linux
version of MATLAB 6 onto a FreeBSD
system.The Linux version of MATLAB runs
well under FreeBSD. The startup and installation scripts
provided by the MathWorks are slightly confused by the emulator
environment, so some small changes are necessary to get the
application to install and run.The following instructions have been tested with MATLAB
Version 6/R12 for students on FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE.The Linux version of MATLAB or
MATLAB for Students can be ordered
directly from The MathWorks at url="http://www.mathworks.com/">http://www.mathworks.com/.Pre-InstallationBefore beginning the installation, create a directory
for MATLAB. I use /usr/local/matlab6, but that isn't required.
&prompt.root; mkdir /usr/local/matlab6If you have a license.dat provided separately by the Mathworks
place it in your /usr/local/matlab6 directory. The install script
will make some changes and install it in its final location.Installing MATLABThe Installer provided by
the Mathworks includes a nice graphical frontend that is
unnecessary. The installation scripts attempt to determine
exactly which operation system you are running, and act
appropriately. This does not function perfectly in the emulator
environment, so you must explicitly specify the operating
system.
&prompt.root; mount /cdrom
&prompt.root; /cdrom/install_glnx.sh -t -glnx86Some editions have a slightly different layout, so if
your don't have install_gnlx, proceed as follows:
&prompt.root; /cdrom/install -t -glnx86After accepting the license agreement, you will be
prompted for the MATLAB root directory.
The installation script will create the dierectory for you,
if necessary.
Following this, you will be prompted to select
platforms and products, and you may customize as you see fit.
The install script will also offer to create symbolic links in
the directory of your choice. The default,
/usr/local/bin, should be appropriate for
most systems. At this point, no further input is required until
MATLAB finishes installing the base system. You may now unmount
the cd.
&prompt.root; umount /cdromYou may also want to install the MATLAB documentation on
your system rather than access it via cdrom. The documentation as
supplied by the mathworks is approximately 440 megabytes. Some
editions have a documentaion CD that includes an installation script.
If you aren't one of the lucky ones, proceed as follows:
&prompt.root; mkdir /usr/local/MATLAB6/mhelp
&prompt.root; mount /cdrom
&prompt.root; cd /cdrom/help
&prompt.root; cp -R /usr/local/matlab6/mhelpOtherwise, use the suppied install script:
&prompt.root; mount /cdrom
&prompt.root; /cdrom/install -t -glnx86Running MATLABAs before, the scripts provided by the mathworks are
slightly confused by the emulator enviroment, so we must
manually specify the operating system when we start
MATLABFor the Standard version of MATLAB, it is necessary to
start the license manager
&prompt; lmstart -glnx86Then invoke MATLAB
&prompt; matlab -glnx86You may receive warnings that MATLAB was unable to open
/dev/ptmx. In this case, the ! command
will not be available from within MATLAB, but the software will
be otherwise unaffectedTo shut down the license manager, we use the same switch
as before
&prompt; lmstop -glnx86

In the FAQ, no. The Handbook is fully indexed, so we turn on index
generation during the build :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/i27360.html
(we should probably setup an id for the index to aid linking. I think
that collateindex.pl has an option for this)
Turning on the index for the FAQ is easy, but it would look strange
with only a very small subset of the document indexed.

Agreed. Of course, we have a lot more semantic markup than just the
indexterms. I have a hard time believing that no one has written a
decent DocBook technical search engine yet.

This will now complete our documentation set to include information
about the three most popular (in the US anyway) CAS systems. The
FreeBSD crowd must really attract mathematicians. Maybe the
information about Mathematica, Maple, and Matlab should be split out
into a new "Mathematics on FreeBSD" article? The information seems
really specific, when we don't even talk about more common Linux
applications like RealPlayer or Netscape plugins in the Handbook.
Your article is certainly appreciated. We just need to find the
best place to publish it.

More or less depends on how you set up your hard drive though, I would
not recommend you play around with newfs on a /usr partition :)
Thinking that most users would already have their system setup before
compiling a kernel was the idea in mind when I wrote this, and that they
would also enable softupdates on current partitions. I suppose,
however, a man link or quick info line would not hurt one bit, should I
submit another patch or just revise the section if/when this is commited?

Hmm. That doesn't seem to work properly.
All the anchors point back to the same document, so it's not much use.
For example, this line :
/etc/groups, Groups
is linked to :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/i27360.html#USERS-GROUPS
which is the same document, and there is no such anchor, so it just goes back
to the top of the page.

Something for me to do then!
Unless Michael wants to do this at the same time he's overhauling ?

Since you also have that dist/disk error, I'd submit another patch as it
would make it easier for whoever commits this.

It's a big job, I won't be greedy. :)
At the time, I'm quite busy. My schedule is either "insanely busy" or
"dead idle." My main concern with this is so that the next time I
have an idle period to pound on the docs, they're in a reasonable
design.

I think that's a damn fine idea, mainly because the stuff we currently
have *is* very specific. If we end up with docs on other stuff
(non-math related :-), we can always add the chapter back later...

OK, I'll spend some time looking into and adding 's to the
FAQ then; with any luck this will be today, otherwise I'm probably
looking at the weekend.

Actually, reviewing the latest commits, Nik has already taken care of
the kernel maxusers information, so I will send a notice to the nearist
semi-busy committer (Bruce, Giorgos, MW?) to close this pr hehe...
Thanks for input though Ceri!

however, you might (as in might) want to add
information about how to overcome the 4G KVA limit
problem, and how to overcome this.
I am saying this (hopefully) in behalf of all the
people, who have been tired tapping their
keyboards writing the same solution on the PR
database, as well as the mailing lists. ;)
(this includes me)
I would have closed this issue, but as of now, I
have a lot of burden from school (mocks) ;)

hmm, this PR can be closed, as it is true that this Patch is mostly
incorrect, after dd pointed out the mistakes I made in this patch.
If there is a need for another patch, I will surely submit one, but I
am sure that the same type of change in the Alpha MAKEDEV.8 man page
can be applied into the i386 MAKEDEV.8 man page.
Otherwise, this PR can be closed without any problems. :-)

Current FreeBSD problem reports
The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users.
These represent problem reports covering all versions including
experimental development code and obsolete releases.
Bugs can be in one of several states:
o - open
A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed.
a - analyzed
The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated.
f - feedback
The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a
patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state
pending a response from the originator.
s - suspended
The problem is not being worked on. This is a prime candidate
for somebody who is looking for a project to do.
If the problem cannot be solved at all,
it will be closed, rather than suspended.
c - closed
A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated,
documented, and tested.

So, I have some extra time today and decided to pull some bits from
the FAQ into the Handbook in preparation for our gradual migration
towards a smaller FAQ.
The first thing I come across is a bunch of stuff on using the mouse
in console mode. This is asked frequently enough that we should have
keep this information somewhere in addition to the man pages.
There's no obvious place in the Handbook for it, though.
Skimming through the FAQ, I think we're going to wind up with more
material like this: general answers that are just too short to be an
article, but don't quite fit in an existing portion of the Handbook.
I suggest that we create a Handbook section called something like
"Living with FreeBSD" that contains small, catch-all tutorials.
Thoughts?

This sounds like a unique idea. "Living with FreeBSD" or "FreeBSD in your
daily life" or something similar, in which alot of minor informal tidbits
would be thrown into, like short informatives. LOL When can we start :)

Sorry, you forgot to attach your patch. ;-)
Seriously, I'm not trying to be cute here. (Well, okay, maybe a
*tiny* bit cute.) We just have a lot of brief bits in the FAQ that
don't really fit in an existing Handbook section.
The nice thing about this is that we will have the ability to split
things out easily. "Oh, we have a bunch for short bits on using mice,
let's open up a mice chapter."

I knew something that something wasn't correct when I sent that. I'll attach
on the next reply :)
Anyways, a quick question, quick answer chapter would be nice, but do you
have a vision of "one line question 2-3 line answer" type of chapter, or
would you like the answers to be a bit more broad than what the FAQ currently
carries? This is your started project, but I would be more than happy to
lend a hand (no cutting off jokes pls :) I'm rather attached to them)

Hi,
I would like people to review this initial effort of a
translation to Brazilian Portuguese of the FreeBSD documentation.
The work finished so far can be found at
http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/pt_BR.ISO8859-1.tgz
It requires patches to
doc/Makefile
doc/share/sgml/catalog
which can be found at
http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/patch-doc
This part only contains both mirrors and pgpkeys chapters
of the FreeBSD Handbook. Additional chapters are being translated
and will be added within the following months. We expect to have
the Handbook fully translated within a year which is a reasonable
timeframe given that the FreeBSD Handbook is on going project. :)
The Brazilian Portuguese translation has been cross peer
reviewed in the last 2 months and a lot of work has gone into making
sure it is good to be released. Of course, we do not expect it to
be perfect but accurate.
Please check the building issues and if it conforms to
doc/ CVS tree guidelines. xemacs with adapted configuration from
both FPD documentation and mailing lists was used. Where it was not
good, vi with fmt was used to achieve full conformance with FPD
formatting guidelines.
Nothing new was added to the documentation. Only "verbatim"
translation as mandated by FPD guidelines.
Please, let me know what can I do to improve this work and
when/if it can be imported to the doc/ repo.
I was working with asmodai but he has retired for a while. :)
Therefore, I would require either someone to work with me or a
mentor if I were to be accepted as a doc committer (I am already a
ports committer).
I intend to write patches to
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/translations.html
adding contact information about this when/if this added to doc/
repo.
Regards,

I suppose we could. I'd personally prefer a single book with
everything in it, but will obey the consensus of the group.
Whaddaya think, folks?

Seriously, I don't have much in the way of vision here.
We have some entries in the FAQ that really aren't frequently asked.
In practical terms, our FAQ is "short bits of documentation, plus
FAQs" while the Handbook is "long bits of documentation."
We want to make the FAQ just FAQs, fine. But what do we do with short
bits?
I'll ponder for a bit. Perhaps a new book would be the best thing.

I think that the Handbook and FAQ are pretty nice, already. I've
thought at times of something like:
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/daily
"Using FreeBSD for every-day work"
but, I'm not sure what how that would be different from the FAQ or the
Handbook we already have. I'd really be glad to see a collection of
things like:
- I just installed FreeBSD, now what?
- I just want to read my email dammit.
- Where's my browser?
- No, no, I don't want to have to login.
and other nice things that users will start asking once they install
an operating system. I say, Michael, start something...

What if it's just done the way the handbook's done? Divide it in chapters,
group contents in categories so it's easy to find... Then we'd have the
handbook, with all theory and "long bits of documentation", and the
faq-book, which would have smaller, more practical and specific topics...
So people can follow the handbook if they don't know the _how_, and read
the problem-book if the _how_ doesn't work out quite as good as it says.
I admit I have to read up a bit on the recent form of e.g. the handbook,
but maybe the "chapters" could be just the same in both books, what could
make linking from the more theorical to the more practical pretty
transparent.
That only works if the faq's really too big. Either it isn't, and then it
doesn't need to be cut up, or it is, and the proper form needs to be
established...
About 2.x specific faq's: if you ask me, forget them, if they are really
only valuable for those releases. Let's focus on the future, and not try
to spend too much time into supporting the stone-age. A faq is only a faq
if it's fa'd... If nobody asks anymore, throw it out. There still is
-questions@, just like for all the lesser asked questions.
That's ofcourse my opinion. ;)
Kind regards,
wouter

Ideally the handbook is comprehensive enough that the FAQ is not needed,
except perhaps as an alternative form of TOC/index into the handbook.
But as long as there are both a Handbook and a FAQ, and they are equally
well organized for finding info, the only reason I see to move info to
the Handbook is to eliminate duplication (so there is less to maintain
and less that users must read), and not to just make it smaller.
But since there has been and should be more investment of effort in
organizing the handbook, it makes sense to move stuff there.
When it's hard to find a place in the Handbook for something, I'd think
that's an indication that the Handbook organization needs expansion. It
would be hard work (both design and implementation), but I think it's
the only thing that would make the move of info from the FAQ to the
Handbook valuable.
A catch-all chapter or book is no better than leaving the stuff in the
FAQ, except that you'd then have essentially have three places to look
for help (plus the man pages, articles, READMEs, etc).
P.S. Maybe more though needs to be given to multi-level presentation
of info; "Quick Start", "Cook-book of SA Tasks", etc., but I think
it's too much work and that level of stuff is best left to articles.
For now, it would be better to have a consistent level of rather
dense information. (Maybe with some embedded examples and recipes.)
I.e., I don't see the FAQ as a place for an alternate level of info.
P.P.S. I'd like the FAQ better if the top TOC had all the questions
instead of burying them at the start of each chapter.

>Description:
In Handbook, Section 3.5 - Processes:
> As you can see in this example, the output from [12]ps(1) is organized
> in to a number of columns. PID is the process ID discussed earlier.
> PIDs are assigned starting from 1, go up to 65536, and wrap around

This is confusing. In the example above (output from ps) is
"72210 p0 R+ 0:00.00 ps",
^^^^^
and in the example below (outpout from top) is
"last pid: 72257; load averages: 0.13, 0.09, 0.03 up 0+13:38:33 22:39:10"
^^^^^
So after a while of investigation I found out that on my computer there
also are processes with PID higher than 65536. The highest value I have
seen was 99651. After a while, new processes got numbers around 500.
So I think that "65536" should be changed to "99999", if 99999 is the
right value.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have a look at Hanbook Section 3.5, then look for "65536".

Mario,
I gave short look and have to say that it's looks promising :-)
I may suggest you following scheme how to smoothly go pt_BR's docs
in.
. for first time leave documents in tree committed, but not
connected to build (at least version which you've put to url
noted below should not build). As example I may note russian
handbook which still is under translation and is available from
built form from my website, but it will not be connected to
build until completely translated (to avoid distributing partialy
translated document with main FreeBSD dist)
. ask -core to upgrade your commit bits for docs area (count me as
mentor :) )
. you will be working on translation (or become "gate" between
translators and source tree)
. after period when handbook's translation will grow more or other
(completely translated documents) appears they'll be connected to build

Sorry for the bluntness, but, AFAIK, all requests by
/stand/sysinstall are normally completed without any
errors.
The man page, does mention about the -W option, and
its actions, but I've never found the need to apply
this parameter to disklabel(8).
Does this disklabel(8) issue arise only in certain
conditions?

Dear Sirs
is just a couple of simple questions
1) In your installation guide section named
2.5.3 Creating Slices using FDisk
(...)
If you have already made space for FreeBSD (perhaps by using a tool such as
Partition Magic) then you can press C to create a new slice. Again, you
will be prompted for the size of slice you would like to create.
When finished, press Q. Your changes will be saved in Sysinstall, but will
not yet be written to disk.
(...)
Are you not forgetting to mention that when a new FreeBSD slice is created,
user needs to press S to set the slice as Bootable?
2) If I download my distributions using FTP, and using Microsoft Internet
Explorer to access the FTP mirror, can I just download the files as they
are or will they be downloaded then in the wrong format.
I.E. Do I need to use a dedicated FTP program and ensure that the binaries
are downloaded as binaries and not ASCII, or will MS Internet Explorer pick
up the correct default format
Thanks for your attention and I look forward to your answer

Bzzt.
That's Nik's territory, not -core. Core only does src.

Yep, 99999 is the correct value, as witnessed by the PID_MAX constant

This depends, on if the slice is added to an existing
system, or a new system. If there is only one slice
on the system, which is the FreeBSD slice, then the
slice is automatically flagged as bootable, but if you
have a second partition such as your Windows system,
than your old settings will remain the same, i.e. you
can boot your windows.
Also, when you press (Q)uit in sysinstall's fdisk, it
will ask you if you want to install a boot manager,
which will give you the choice of booting your FreeBSD
and windows.

Version 4.0+ of IE automatically determines file
type (ascii or binary). Although, if it doesn't there
is a way to change the download type.

It should in most recent versions. ;)

>Description:
A number of questions in the FAQ start with "How come..." instead of the more formal "Why..." Two of the "How come" sentences also used "not seem to be working" instead of "not working". I submit that anyone specifically looking for those two questions would classify their problem as "not working". No contractions were used in the making of this patch.

Folks,
I've decided to fall back on another cliche: never do today what you
can do tomorrow, if doing it tomorrow means you have better odds.
I'm going to go after the easy stuff first, then compile a list of
"what's left" and see if any patterns jump out.
Thanks to everyone for suggestions: I now feel pretty much free to do
whatever seems appropriate. :)

"Automatically, but in a way that, for some reason (typically because it
is too complicated, or too ugly, or perhaps even too trivial), the
speaker doesn't feel like explaining to you. See magic. "The C-INTERCAL
compiler generates C, then automagically invokes cc(1) to produce an
executable."

Whether or not this is an appropriate term to use in FreeBSD
documentation remains to be seen, but it probably isn't a typo :)

OK, so it isn't typo, my mistake, but I think this
term is confusing for people who are not used to the
term "automagic", i.e. people like me, and people from
the east, who haven't encountered a way to say
automatic as automagic.
thanks neway, but I strongly fill this patch should
go in the article, otherwise, it the PR can be closed.

agree that this will be easier for the majority of our developers to

I'm in favor of most of the changes that have been discussed here
over the past few days, but I feel I should interject to remind
everyone that the release is imminent and we need to be somewhat
conservative with our changes until the RELENG_4_5_0 tags are laid.
Please don't completely re-organize the entire doc tree this week. ;)
I don't want to discourage content changes at all (like Michaels FAQ
-> Handbook migrations), but we should wait on splitting up the
Handbook or anything drastic like that.
Thanks,
- Murray

Whew. OK. When is the -doc freeze likely to happen? I expect to
actually have some time this week to make these changes; the book
publisher is the one that is behind at the moment. :)

So, what's our policy on a broken -doc tree? The breakage is fairly
easy to fix -- in fact, I've fixed it in my tree. It's a non-doc
committer adding his PGP key that blew things apart.

It's ache's key but I don't think he broke the build...the file in
question is a part of DES's pgp key reorg.

Quoting from the handbook:
"Ignore any errors from Sysinstall that it could not mount the new
partition."
This, in fact, is exactly what happens. Further, when I actually ran
disklablel -W and THEN ran sysinstall, it didn't give me this error
message.
HP> The man page, does mention about the -W option, and

I wouldn't have submitted this unless I hadn't tried for an hour to get
the Handbook's instructions to work correctly.
HP> Does this disklabel(8) issue arise only in certain
HP> conditions?
I should clarify that this only happens when using sysinstall on a system
that has already been setup once. As the handbook directs, I was using it
to add additional disks to an existing installation of FreeBSD.
However, that is exactly the activity this portion of the handbook is
trying to cover.

Yep. He just copied ache's line twice, and goofed once.
So, who gets to go tell DES to clean up his mess? Or shall we just
fix it for him? What's our standard over in -doc?
I presume we don't follow the -src convention of backing out other
people's changes with an incandescent commit message, followed by
three weeks of incindiary email cascading back and forth... :)

No, actually the line got added by an earlier version of addkey.sh
that had a quoting bug (it passed parameters to gpg as a single
parameter rather than splitting them). I've removed it.

Thanks! And thanks for straightening up that PGP mess, it makes
things much nicer.
Actually, this was the first time I got to track down a build
breakage... kind of fun. Don't break it again just to make me happy,
though. :)
