Dear Sir/Madam,

	For the last few weeks, I have been using the FreeBSD
mailing list archives for research on FreeBSD. I think this is
an excellent tool for information since it allows a user to
diagnose a wide variety of problems.

	Since this is one of the primary sources of information about
FreeBSD, many users including me, spend a lot of time reading articles.
So, I request you to change the background colour of the mailing archive
to grey so it is less strenous on the users' eyes.  The web browser
cannot use a preffered background colour if the web page is requesting
a specific colour.  However if a user preffers to view the archive with
a white background, they can tell the browser to do so.  (If the web page
does not request a specific colour, grey(default) or another chosen
colour is set for the background.)

	Your assistance in this manner is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Amandeep Singh.

Hi,

I can never find the information I'm looking for on the web pages
because nothing is where I'd expect it to be..
the top level page doesn't give enough hints as to where things are..

for example..
I just spent 5 minutes looking for the CVS tree  web interface..
I know I've found it before under some 
arcane paragraph but I've just given up because I can't find it..


the  top level page is REALLY cryptic in that there are not enough
examples of what is under what.

as a heavy  long term BSD user I expect that I would know what 
is where, but I ALWAYS get lost on these pages...


there has to be a better way....


I'm no HTML expert but I'd volunteer to help re-lay out the
pages if I could ever figure out what is in them...

When I follow your installation instructions:

Hmm... I wonder why?

Um, maybe you should check the filesize before saying it will fit on a

Hi there,

since I'm learning freeBSD, I tried to download
the HTML-version of the docs.
Ofcourse it's a Windows95 problem that I can't
unzip the *.gz file correctly.
I am able to unzip it, but it creates only one very big
html-file instead of many files ...

Any way to do this on a Windows-machine? I have no access
to any UNIX-machine :-(
Or maybe there is a ZIP-ed file somewhere?

Kind regards,
Berend Bakker.

Well known problem. Not only on our FreeBSD home page.

It took me 10 seconds to find the CVS tree  web interface.

'Quick Index' is a dirty hack, but the index should help

Dear Webmaster:

Are you frustrated by the lack of traffic coming to your site from
the popular search engines?

Is your site listed but appearing way down on the hit list "out
of sight" despite perfect keyword matches?

If the answer to either of these questions is "yes" then you need to
order a copy of Did-it's Search Engine Secrets.  In this comprehensive
report we tell you exactly how to design or modify your html to
improve the position your site appears on search results listings.
We do this by exposing the hidden logic used by the engines to
determine search relevancy.

Here's just a sample of the inside information revealed in "Did-it's
Search Engine Secrets:"

Alta Vista - References first 30 words on page for description unless
you use META TAGS. Alta Vista determines the priority of matches by
indexing the words closest to the beginning of the front page.

Infoseek Indexes the first 200 characters of your site after the HTML
<BODY> tag unless you use META TAGS in the creation of your site.
Your description can include up to 200  characters of text.

The Lycos engine compares each page to your query and gives higher
scores to pages that contain the words as you typed them into your
Web Site. It also looks for pages that mention these words early on,
rather than far down.

Yahoo searches for words in URL, title & description (<25 words) YOU
ENTERED when submitting URL!

Webcrawler - Webcrawler computes its confidence rating by considering
how many times the terms in your search occur in that document. The
more frequent, the more relevant.

Even if you utilized any or all of the above suggestions, I'm sure
your results would improve.  You can imagine if you employed ALL of
the more than 100 secrets revealed in our report, how much your site
traffic would benefit.  And if you've already been listed on the
engines, you should still make the changes because they continually
reindex all their sites and your changes will take effect!

The Did-it Search Engine Secrets report cost only $49.95 and comes
with a full, 30-day, moneyback, satisfaction guarantee!  So don't
delay. To order your copy call toll-free 1-800-WEBPRO-1 or
516-255-0500 9AM - 5PM EST.  We accept all major credit cards.
Every minute you waste is traffic lost forever!

Thank you,

The Did-it Team

status of your site on the engines. Our address is http://www.did-it.com.

Minor point, the following page is beginning to become a bit outdated.
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook107.html#183

It might be nice to update it to include details of newer 75MHz boards 
which are now (apparently) Intel supported I believe, and perhaps also
83MHz bus speeds.

Particulary for people who might be interested in running P200+ Cyrix 
chips at 150MHz on the 75MHz bus speed (only choice really).

Obviously running a 207.5MHz processor on a 83MHz board is going to be 
faster than a 200MHz processor on a 66MHz board.

Might be nice to mention that reliability might (will?) go down though.

I'm happy to write it if wanted.

I never can remember if this is the correct place to mail things like
this, appologies in advance if I am mistaken (feel free to reply or
flame me via personal email).

Having said this, I hate to see broken links on the FreeBSD web server
unfortuneately the link on the page:

no longer goes anywhere.

Is anyone using emacs or xemacs to edit sgml files? How do you enable the
sgml-mode to parse the linuxdoc.dtd. I keep getting the following;

External entity linuxdoc not found
  Public identifier -//FreeBSD//DTD linuxdoc//EN

my DOCTYPE is as follows

<!DOCTYPE linuxdoc PUBLIC "-//FreeBSD//DTD linuxdoc//EN">

Hi there. Myself and Chris Coleman have started work on a "Newbie FreeBSD"
book project, intened for first time Unix/FreeBSD users/sysadmins.

We want to write the thing in SGML, and so far have been using sgmls and
sgmlfmt to format the sgml files into html. We've been using the linuxdoc
DTD... Before we go too much furthur, I thought I'd ask if there are
alternative?

I can remember some talk about "docbook" or something. I couldn't find any
info on it however. 

Any pointers to SGML related stuff usable under FreeBSD would be greatly
appreciated.

-Mark

Sorry but discovered info after blasting away a message to the list....
I just came across a message from John Fieber explaning the whole
linuxdoc/docbook DTD thing - as well as some general links to SGML
resources. Thanks John!

I'm still not clear exactly what a 'DTD' is though.. time to truck over to
the book store and see what's available under the SGML topic (John also
recommeded some good SGML books, that I'll be looking for) :-)

Hello,

	I'm thinking about tranlating the FreeBSD FAQ to Spanish.

	However I'm a bit lost. I have seen the source in SGML but
don't know how to edit it. Is there a specific tool to do it? Must
I use a standard text editor? Or can I write it in LaTeX (Using
LyX, for example)?

	Thanks in advance,



	Borja Marcos.

The DTD is the Document Type Definition.  This is where the document is
defined so that the compiler can expand the ``macrps'' defined for that
document (Lack of a better definition) I believe HTML is a DTD under
SGML.  I could be wrong....

Each `type' of document needs a DTD to explain which parts of SGML will
be used in that type and how....

There's a good book devoted to DTDs.... I'll have to pull it off the
shelf, so I'll email the title & stuff later....

Borja:

The format IS important in the long run.  I think if the FAQ is
translated, though, any format will work initially and someone can
either hand, or machine copy it over to SGML.  DVI's are nice for FAQs
and there are some translation tools for LaTeX to HTML and poss SGML or
the SGML could be derived from the H....

That book is:

	Developing SGML DTDs: From Text; To Model; To Markup

	by: Maler & El Andaloussi

	ISBN: 0-13-309881-8

	Pub: Prentice Hall

	Price: List 51.75 at B&N, but I received 20% off.

I haven't read much of it, as I'm not at the DTD stage yet.  But it
looks good.  There is a bit too much SGML phil and overview, but I think
you'd really understand the whole process and interrelation after
this...

Hope that helps...

I've found that a standard text editor is really the best. The markup
isn't that complex, really.

I have a suggestion for the documentation which now seems to
be available only in post script.

It would be extremely helpful if these documents could be made
available in plain text format, or some other ascii format.

The reson for this is, many people with visual impairments
can ot access a post script document, but can read an ascii file, either
plain ascii, or html.

An example of one of these documents is the document in the
tutorial section, dealing with FreeBSD device driver writing.

If you have any questions or comments for me, my E-mail address is:
phall@gate.net

Thank you for your time, and for the many other accessable documents.

Look for a program in /usr/bin called `ps2ascii'.  It's supposed to
convert PostScript to ascii.  Never worked for me, but maybe I did
something wrong....

Good luck,

Phil:

By the way:

Ghostscript and Ghostview are nice because they allow you to magnify any
point on the page by moving your mouse to the point and hoilding down
the button.  This would certainly help for visual impaired.  It is
available for Windows 3.x, dos, and Unix for free....

Thanks,

-Mike
