>Number: 141227 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Handbook/sysinstall documentation about distributions including X out of date >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Dec 06 17:30:05 UTC 2009 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Nicky Chorley >Release: 8.0 >Organization: >Environment: This problem occurs when installing/running sysinstall on FreeBSD 8.0. I used i386, but I the same issue is present for other architectures. >Description: In section 2.7.1 of the handbook (Select the Distribution Set), the sentence If a graphical user interface is desired then a distribution set that is preceded by an X should be chosen. is present. This is out of date, because there are no longer any distribution sets that are preceded by an X. In addition to the information in the handbook, there is a related problem in the documentation found in sysinstall for FreeBSD 8.0 about the distribution sets. The text An "X-" prefixed before a distribution set means that the Xorg base distribution, libraries, manual pages, servers and a set of default fonts will be selected in addition to the set itself.. is also out of date >How-To-Repeat: For the problem in sysinstall, the procedure to find the incorrect text is: Run sysinstall Choose Standard Proceed as normal until "Choose Distributions" Press F1 to view the information >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
