At work, we've pretty much standardized on using Netscape 4 to send "rich text" (or HTML) messages to each other. Recent mail reader programs will understand the MIME encoding type "Alternate" to show either a "rich text" (or HTML) version of a message or a plain text version. Your mail reader program must not understand the MIME encoding type "Alternate" and showed the actual bytes of the message ... if you look down past the HTML encoding, you should see a plain text version of my message.

How can I do the boot disk? Please send messages of this nature to FreeBSD-questions, not FreeBSD-doc, which is dedicated to documenting the FreeBSD system. The floppy image is exactly 1474560 bytes long. I don't know how you got 1,546,706 bytes. Some people will tell you it's because you used ASCII mode transfer (which is likely), but that doesn't explain the size: an ASCII transfer of the 2.2.5 boot floppy produces 1479138 bytes. Try again, and make sure you use a binary (not ASCII) transfer.

The version of the handbook in multiple sections has links to the other sections (or to next and previous) and you wouldn't get these. Assuming you've got Netscape on a Win3.1 or Win95 setup, you can view and print from Netscape, and print the chapters you want. > I also downloaded the Handbook in Dos format.

How can I properly format the document such that I can view > or print the document properly? If you have Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, you can use them to delete the ^H (backspace) characters that create boldface when the document is called to the screen under certain unix utilities (e.g., "more" and "less"). Alternatively you can send them document (or sections of it, if you divide it into chapters using a word processor) directly to the printer and most printers will actually do the backspacing and print it in a readable fashion. I don't think under dos/win there is any way to view this document in an acceptable manner. But it's less desirable than printing the HTML version from Netscape, because with Netscape printing (IE should work too) you get the italics, bold, and so forth, which is helpful in understanding it. > > Thanks and regards, > Tom Leung. > Annelise From owner-freebsd-doc Wed Nov 26 14:29:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA25172 for doc-outgoing; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 14:29:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-doc) Received: from andrsn.stanford.edu (andrsn@andrsn.Stanford.EDU [36.33.0.163]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA25158 for ; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 14:29:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from andrsn@andrsn.stanford.edu) Received: from localhost (andrsn@localhost.stanford.edu [127.0.0.1]) by andrsn.stanford.edu (8.8.8/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA07193; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 14:28:41 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 14:28:40 -0800 (PST) From: Annelise Anderson Reply-To: Annelise Anderson To: Wolfram Schneider cc: Justin Lundy , freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: REQ: Entire FreeBSD handbook in a Archive In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 25 Nov 1997, Wolfram Schneider wrote: > > The up-to-date handbook is available from the FreeBSD Web Server > or any mirror as PostScript and plain text (7 bit ASCII and 8-bit latin1) > > As PostScript (1.7MB) > > from the main Web Server > fetch http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.ps > > from the german Web mirror > fetch -h www.de.freebsd.org -f /handbook/handbook.ps > > As plain ASCII text (1048KB) > fetch http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.ascii > As plain ISO 8859-1 text (1048KB) > fetch http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.latin1 That's okay if one is already running FreeBSD; how would you get the whole thing from a dos/win system?

The simplest way to fix this is to run the ascii/latin1 output through a couple of filters: col -b < handbook.ascii | sed 's/$//' > FAQ.ascii.msdos This could be run before putting the files on the FTP site, or even added to the Makefile. (The 'col -b' gets rid of the backspaces and the sed expression puts a carriage return character at the end of each line so the lines break properly under DOS. Note that ^M signifies a CR character, NOT a caret followed by a capital M). -- In theory, theory is better than practice. In practice, it isn't.

We make database technology, including a Velocis Database Server, a commercial product that runs on FreeBSD. I'm wondering if you would be interested in teaming with us in a program in which we'll give a free, fully working copy of our database to people who see an announcement of this on your Web site? We would also have a link to your site from the opening page of our site, telling visitors about this offer. We'd make this offer for a limited time. It might be two weeks or so. Are you interested? This is a commercial product that we don't normally give away--we would do it in this case because we'd like to increase our profile among users of Free BSD. For your audience, it would be a chance to get something of value, for free.
