Rosen" , kevin lenzo , stephanie.wall@newriders.com, michael.slaughter@awl.com, rms@gnu.org, john.wait@awl.com, Paula Ferguson , Michael Loukides Subject: OPL 2.0 Review Eric Raymond, David Wiley, and I have created a first draft of an update to the Open Publication License (OPL). The revised version (2.0) of the license can be viewed online at http://opencontent.org/openpub/opl20.html. I've sent you this message because I believe you may be interested in participating in the discussion concerning the revision. If you would like to join the discussion please subscribe to the mailing list set up by the generous folks at linuxdoc.org (thanks, guylhem). To subscribe send a message to opl-discuss-request@linuxdoc.org following standard mailing list subscription rules. Please forward this message to anyone else you feel could add value in finalizing the license. We've incorporated several changes into this revision including an overall update to the language of license that I was working on several months ago with an attorneys with Pearson. A requirement has been added where all substantive modifications must be clearly marked in order to protect an author and original copyright holder for being held responsible for material not written by them. The options have been removed from the license, and therefore, commercial print rights to the work are held by the publisher. Some of the modifications to the license were made with the awareness of the FDL's (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) existence. I believe both licenses can coexist together to give authors and publishers a choice. The OPL protects the commercial efforts of the publisher and author while still giving something back to the community. The FDL makes a manual, textbook, or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially according to the preamble to the license. I'm looking forward to a productive discussion.

After wasting a couple good hours on installing my soundcard, I decided to write a quick guide on how-to set up a Creative SB AWE64, and at the end I included a quick troubleshooting section. I know this doc may be not neccessary due to the docs do basically go over the same things, but I think it would be useful to add my short troubleshooting section to the old doc. It would have saved me a couple hours.

The changes I've made are: 1. Improved the weeding out of non-doc files (it uses the +CONTENTS file). 2. The HTML file now has the ports sorted alphabetically. 3. The HTML file now has an index of all the installed ports (that have docs) at the top with the port name as a link (followed by the contents of the +COMMENT file) to the list of docs, which have a link back to the top. 4. The filename is displayed instead of "Title Unknown" for non-HTML files (although HTML files that have no tag are still listed as "Title Unknown"). I've attached 3 files: docsmaker - builds the +DOCS files. docindex.pl - builds the HTML page from the +DOCS files. mkindex.sh - A wrapper script to run the other 2 files. Put them all in the same directory and run mkindex.sh from that directory (the other 2 files are called as ./). The resulting HTML file is /usr/local/share/doc/index.html I'd appreciate people trying this out on their system (it works fine with all the ports I have installed on mine) and giving feedback, suggestions for further features/improvements, any examples of ports that it doesn't work with, etc. CAVEATS: It may or may not included the standard FreeBSD docs (Handbook, FAQ, etc.) in the HTML file depending on where they are installed on your system. I'm just a beginner at perl, so not too many flames about the code, eh?

I don't have a reference URL here, but there is a installation instruction. Yuo can buy CDs from www.cdrom.com and then boot them, or you download the newest release from the mirror near you and then create a CD using: mkisofs -R -J -c boot.catalog -o imagefile.img -v -V FreeBSD -b floppies/boot.flp * With this command (or with minor changes) you can create a bootable CD from the FreeBSD download. But the easiest way is buying it on www.cdrom.com. Hope this helps. For further infos read the docu, or contact me. -- Best Regards, Freddy ===================================================================== Frederik Meerwaldt ICQ: 83045387 Homepage: http://www.freddym.org Bavaria/Germany OpenVMS and Unix Howtos and much more FREEBSD, NETBSD, OPENBSD, TRU64, OPENVMS, ULTRIX, BEOS, LINUX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Wed Sep 6 5:14:39 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mole.nixu.fi (mole.nixu.fi [194.197.118.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9816837B423 for ; Wed, 6 Sep 2000 05:14:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sombrero (dyn-pc6.nixu.fi [194.197.118.146]) by mole.nixu.fi (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA06226 for ; Wed, 6 Sep 2000 15:14:29 +0300 (EET DST) From: "Juha Holkkola" To: Subject: NameSurfer Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2000 15:14:38 +0300 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I was browsing your website, and noticed that on this page: http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/software.html#NameSurfer,_Ltd under a netsurfer link there is a description of our product.

Great. Looks nice (there's a "but" coming, you can tell. . .) > 4. The filename is displayed instead of "Title Unknown" for > non-HTML files (although HTML files that have no > tag are still listed as "Title Unknown"). Try using the content of the first element, and falling back to the filename as a last resort. For ports with documentation split over multiple files it links to all of them, instead of just the index file. That's going to be a problem with any automated solution -- as and when porters start writing +DOCS files themselves that should be less of a problem. There's another angle I think that's worth investigating. At the O'Reilly docs summit a couple of months back, representatives from the GNOME, KDE, and Linux documentation projects were all looking at the similar problem of getting apps to register their documentation, and also to try and provide an interface over and above simple HTML. From memory, the two best people to liase with about this are Guyhelm Aznar and Eric Bischoff . N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95.

Yup. That's easier and quicker to read then the way my script was generating the file. > 4.

The latest version of mine was already doing that! :-) > I've attached 3 files: All great stuff. I've no complaints. The only difference between the output of your script and mine is a few cosmetic things suggested by Nik a while back, like a title image and some statistics at the bottom of the output. Trivial stuff. Attached is the latest version of the script which I had. But I think work should continue on yours now. > CAVEATS: > It may or may not included the standard FreeBSD docs > (Handbook, FAQ, etc.) in the HTML file depending on where they > are installed on your system. Plus it only links to the english version of the docs. I guess we should really handle all the languages. > I'm just a beginner at perl, so not too many flames about the > code, eh? (Hot Tips and friendly advice accepted :)) Ha! I think you made a better job of it then I did! You were starting with a pretty scrappy script to start with. > There are still some debugging print() statements that > spew out a lot of stuff to STDOUT when docsmaker runs. Yeah. Like I started saying, I never really intended what I was doing to be the basis of anything offical, I just picked up an idea of Nik's and started playing with it. A flood of use[less|ful] print statements tend to be a hallmark of me playing with ideas. I like to see what a program is doing until I've got some confidence in it. :-) I think this whole index thing was mentioned on the list a few months or so back, I tried to e-mail you all but Cable Internet (my ISP) appeared to not be passing on e-mails at the time. I don't know what happened to my email. And I never got around to re-sending it.

Regardless of whether it originally stood for "user" or not, calling it "User" would confuse new users.. Currently, the Unix System Resources live there and that is what it should be called. (IMHO) I may be alone in this definition, but that definition is at least 4 years old. I never questioned it. (Although, I may not be alone, because I have been propigating that definition for the last 3-4 years.) I found this definition in my searching, which may be more correct. Mount point for sharable user commands, libraries, and documentation. http://www.kelley.iu.edu/shyu/hpguide.html#files Still, I'd prefer to keep using the Unix System Resources as a good acronym to help people remember and distinguish between "user" files and "system" files.

Yup. That's easier and quicker to read then the way my script was generating the file. > 4.

The latest version of mine was already doing that! :-) > I've attached 3 files: All great stuff. I've no complaints. The only difference between the output of your script and mine is a few cosmetic things suggested by Nik a while back, like a title image and some statistics at the bottom of the output. Trivial stuff. Attached is the latest version of the script which I had. But I think work should continue on yours now. > CAVEATS: > It may or may not included the standard FreeBSD docs > (Handbook, FAQ, etc.) in the HTML file depending on where they > are installed on your system.

Like I started saying, I never really intended what I was doing to be the basis of anything offical, I just picked up an idea of Nik's and started playing with it. A flood of use[less|ful] print statements tend to be a hallmark of me playing with ideas. I like to see what a program is doing until I've got some confidence in it. :-) I think this whole index thing was mentioned on the list a few months or so back, I tried to e-mail you all but Cable Internet (my ISP) appeared to not be passing on e-mails at the time. I don't know what happened to my email. And I never got around to re-sending it.

ISTR that when Andrew first wrote > this we got a rather cool response from the porters Indeed. Opinion seemed to be that there was already too much work involved in making a port, and that porters wouldn't take to kindly to having yet another step added. Having said that, the docsmaker script can give them a head start and with extra persuasion the idea could still be a go-er. We may need to do some of the grunt work though, as some porters may still not bother.

Regardless of whether it originally stood for "user" or not, calling it "User" would confuse new users.. Currently, the Unix System Resources live there and that is what it should be called. (IMHO) I may be alone in this definition, but that definition is at least 4 years old. I never questioned it. (Although, I may not be alone, because I have been propigating that definition for the last 3-4 years.) I found this definition in my searching, which may be more correct. Mount point for sharable user commands, libraries, and documentation. http://www.kelley.iu.edu/shyu/hpguide.html#files Still, I'd prefer to keep using the Unix System Resources as a good acronym to help people remember and distinguish between "user" files and "system" files.

Well, I think the one on PXE installs should definitely be in the handbook in the installation chapter. The other one could probably be made into an article of its own and put in the tutorials list. - jim -- jim mock work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Fri Sep 8 4:50:29 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk [193.237.89.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 532E437B422; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 04:50:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nik@localhost) by nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (8.11.0/8.11.0) id e88ANvm31966; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 11:23:57 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from nik) Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 11:23:56 +0100 From: Nik Clayton To: Mitsuru IWASAKI Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org, freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: CFR: acpi userland manpages Message-ID: <20000908112356.B31852@canyon.nothing-going-on.org> References: <20000901000931V.iwasaki@jp.FreeBSD.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <20000901000931V.iwasaki@jp.FreeBSD.org>; from iwasaki@jp.FreeBSD.org on Fri, Sep 01, 2000 at 12:09:31AM +0900 Organization: FreeBSD Project Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Fri, Sep 01, 2000 at 12:09:31AM +0900, Mitsuru IWASAKI wrote: > Hi, I've just imported acpi userland tools and writing manpages for > them with contributers in Japan. > Please review them and send any comments (or diffs) for me > (iwasaki@jp.FreeBSD.org) in terms of English/roff or whatever. > > The draft version of manpages are available at > http://people.FreeBSD.org/~iwasaki/acpi/acpidump.8 > http://people.FreeBSD.org/~iwasaki/acpi/amldb.8 I've just found the time to give them a quick once over, and I'd have no problem with them going in as they are.

If you get a T1 line or some such it will come with a router that can generally include a packet filter. If you get ISDN or a dialup link, you also either have a software routing component (a PPP daemon, specifically) that can do some filtering or can be combined with a filter on the machine running the link. But with DSL you only get a little white box with some Blinkenlights on it and an Ethernet port that takes your traffic back and forth from the Internet and nothing else (to some extent the same can be said of other mass-market high speed connectivity methods, like cable modems or high speed wireless links as well. The same technique I plan to describe works just as well for them, or for any other technology that provides an Ethernet port with no filtering). Why use a filtering bridge? Bridging is not the only conceivable option. It is possible to set up a two Ethernet machine as a router instead of a bridge. Where it is possible to do so, it is actually a better idea. Bridges run their interfaces in promiscuous mode, meaning they must process every packet presented to them. The problem is that routers can only route traffic between different subnets. Also, subnets can only be made by by cutting an existing space in half or defining a new space that is typically unroutable (see RFC 1918 ). This wastes half of the useful addresses (or at least puts them on the "wrong" side of the router -- the thing that is doing the packet filtering that makes the inside network safe). Using a bridge costs some CPU cycles, but makes all of the problems of adding a 2nd router go away. Configuring a Kernel After configuring and installing a kernel as shown here, you should carry out the other final preperation tasks before booting into your new kernel. Adding bridging to a FreeBSD machine is not hard to do. It means having 2 (or more, but we'll just use 2 here) Ethernet cards and adding a couple of lines to the kernel configuration. Since May of 2000, RELENG_4 and -current have had bridging support for all Ethernet interfaces. This does not mean that any Ethernet interface will work. For them to work, they have to support a working promiscuous mode for both reception and transmition -- that is, they have to be able to transmit Ethernet packets with any source address, not just their own. In order to get good throughput, the cards should also be PCI bus mastering cards. The best choices still are the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 cards, with 3com 3c9xx cards being second. So you will want to add the following to your kernel configuration file: device fxp (or whatever is appropriate for the cards you're using) options BRIDGE options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE Note that recent versions of FreeBSD support dynamically loading the IP Firewall code into the kernel. You can't do this, however, with bridging, as the bridge code itself needs to interact with IPFIREWALL in a special way. It is also a good idea at this point to see if Luigi has updated versions of the bridge code available that are more recent than what is in the distribution. As an example, 3.3-RELEASE comes with 981214, but as of this writing, the most up-to-date bridge code is 990810. You can fetch the latest version from http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ . You will want to fetch bridge.c and bridge.h< /filename> and drop them into sys/net/. For instructions on how to build and install a new kernel, refer to the Building and Installing a Custom Kernel section of the handbook Final Preperation Before you boot the new kernel, you must make some preparations in rc.boot and rc.firewall. The default rule for the firewall is to drop all packets on the floor. You will want to override this by setting up the 'open' firewall in /e tc/rc.conf. Put these lines in /etc/rc.conf to achieve this: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" There is one more thing that is necessary. When running IP over Ethernet, there are actually two Ethernet protocols in use. One is IP, the other is ARP. ARP is used when a machine must figure out what Ethernet address coresponds to a given IP address. ARP is not a part of the IP layer, since it only applies to IP when run over Ethernet. The standard ipfirewall rule for the open firewall is pass ip from any to any but what about ARP? If ARP is not passed, no IP traffic can flow at all. But IPFIREWALL has no provisions for dealing with non-IP protocols, and that includes ARP. Fortunately, a hackish extension was made to the ipfirewall code to assist filtering bridges. If you set up a special rule for UDP packets from IP address 0.0.0.0, the UDP port number will be used to match the Ethernet protocol number for b ridged packets. In this way your bridge can be configured to pass or reject non IP protocols . So add this line just below the two lines near the top of /etc/rc. firewall that deal with lo0 (the ones that say that you should almost never change those two rules). ${fwcmd} add allow udp from 0.0.0.0 2054 to 0.0.0.0 This rule makes almost no sense at all from a normal perspective on IPFIREWALL, but the bridge code will use it to pass ARP packets without restriction (which you almost certainly want to do). Now you should be able to reboot your machine and have it act no differently than it did before. There will be some new boot messages about bridging, but the bridging will not be enabled. If there are any problems, you should try and sort them out at this point before proceeding. Enabling The Bridge Next, you should do this: &prompt.root; sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 &prompt.root; sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1 At this point, the bridge should be enabled, and because of the previous changes to /etc/rc.conf, the firewall should be wide open. At this point, you should be able to insert the machine between two sets of hosts and go back and forth without difficulty. If so, the next step is to add those two sysctl lines to either /etc/rc.local or add the net.link.[blah blah]=1 portions of the lines to /etc/sysctl.conf (which path you take depends on what version of FreeBSD you have). Now before we started all of this, you should have had a machine with two Ethernet interfaces, but with only one of them configured. That is, there should only be one ifconfig line /etc/rc.conf. With the bridge in place, that is still true. But there is a detail that deserves some thought. The bridge is not in place by default. That means that until the sysctls are run that turn the bridge on, rather late in the startup, it is still an ordinary machine with two interfaces, only one of which is configured by /etc/rc.conf. This becomes important for those portions of the startup that require network access, say for DNS resolution. Some care must be made in picking which interface is going to be the configured one. In most cases, you are best to pick the "outside" one (that is, the interface connected to the Internet). Let's presume for the sake of the examples to come, that fxp0 is the "outside" interface, and fxp1 is the "inside" one. That means that fxp0 should be mentioned in /etc/rc.conf's ifconfig sections, but fxp1 should not be. The sysctl that turns the bridge on will make fxp1 start working automagically. Configuring The Firewall Now it is time to start adding ipfirewall rules to secure the inside network. There are some complications in doing this because not all of the ipfirewall functionality is available on bridged packets. Also, there is a difference between packets that are in the process of being bridged and packets that are being received by the local machine. In general, packets being bridged are only run through ipfirewall once, not twice as is usually the case. Bridged packets are filtered while they are being received, so rules that use 'out' or 'xmit' will never match. I usually use 'in via' which is an older syntax, but one that makes sense as you read it. Another limitation is that you are restricted only to 'pass' or 'drop' for filtering bridged packets. Sophisticated things like 'divert' or 'forward' or 'reject' are not available. Such options can still be used, but only on traffic to or from the bridge machine itself. New in FreeBSD 4.0 is the concept of stateful filtering. This is a big boost for UDP traffic, which typically is a request going out, followed shortly thereafter by a response with the exact same set of IP addresses and port numbers (but with source and dest reversed, of course). For firewalls that have no statekeeping, there is almost no way to deal with this sort of traffic short of setting up proxies. But a firewall that can "remember" an outgoing UDP packet and for the next few minutes allow a response, handling UDP services is trivial. The example to follow shows how to do this. The truly paranoid can also set up rules like this to handle TCP. This allows you to avoid some sorts of denial of service attacks or other nasty tricks, but it also typically makes your state table mushroom in size. Let's look at an example setup. Note first that at the top of /etc/rc.firewall we should already have taken care of the loopback interface and the special hack for ARP should still be in place. So we won't worry about them any further. us_ip=192.168.1.1 oif=fxp0 iif=fxp1 # Things that we've kept state on before get to go through in a hurry. ${ipfw} add check-state # Throw away RFC 1918 networks ${ipfw} add deny log ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any in via ${oif} ${ipfw} add deny log ip from 172.16.0.0/12 to any in via ${oif} ${ipfw} add deny log ip from 192.68.0.0/16 to any in via ${oif} # Allow the bridge machine to say anything it wants (keep state if UDP) ${ipfw} add pass udp from ${us_ip} to any keep-state ${ipfw} add pass ip from ${us_ip} to any # Allow the inside net to say anything it wants (keep state if UDP) ${ipfw} add pass udp from any to any in via ${iif} keep-state ${ipfw} add pass ip from any to any in via ${iif} # Allow all manner of ICMP ${ipfw} add pass icmp from any to any # TCP section # established TCP sessions are ok everywhere. ${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to any established # Pass the "quarantine" range. ${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to any 49152-65535 in via ${oif} # Pass ident probes. It's better than waiting for them to timeout ${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to any 113 in via ${oif} # Pass SSH. ${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to any 22 in via ${oif} # Pass DNS. Only if you have name servers inside. #${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to any 53 in via ${oif} # Pass SMTP to the mail server only ${ipfw} add pass tcp from any to mailhost 25 in via ${oif} # UDP section # Pass the "quarantine" range" ${ipfw} add pass udp from any to any 49152-65535 in via ${oif} # Pass DNS. Only if you have name servers inside. #${ipfw} add pass udp from any to any 53 in via ${oif} # Everything else is suspect ${ipfw} add deny log ip from any to any Those of you who have set up firewalls before may notice some things missing. In particular, there are no anti-spoofing rules. That is, we did NOT add: ${ipfw} add deny ip from ${us_ip}/24 to any in via ${oif} That is, drop packets claiming to be from our network that are coming in from the outside. This is something that you would commonly do to make sure that someone doesn't try and evade the packet filter by generating nefarious packets that look like they are from the inside. The problem with that is that there is at least one host on the outside interface that you do not want to ignore -- your router. In my particular case, I have some machines on the outside and some on the inside, but I don't necessarily want the outside machines to have routine access to the inside. At the same time, I don't want to throw their traffic away. In my own case, my ISP anti-spoofs at their router, so I don't need to bother. And in general, the fewer rules the better, since it will take time and CPU to process each one. Note also that the last rule is almost an exact duplicate of the default rule 65536. There are two major differences when it comes to bridging, however. Our rule logs what it drops, of course, but our rule will only apply to IP traffic. Apart from the UDP 0.0.0.0 trick there is no way to deal with non IP traffic, so the default rule at 65536 will drop ALL traffic, not merely all non-IP traffic. So the net effect is that unmatched IP traffic will be logged, but not non-IP traffic. If you want, you can add option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT to your kernel configuration and non-IP traffic will be passed instead of dropped. But in the case of a filtering bridge between you and the Internet, it is unlikely that you would want to do this (if you are sufficiently paranoid). There is a rule for passing SMTP to a mailhost if you have one. Obviously the whole ruleset above should be flavored to taste, and that is an example of a specific service exemption. Note that in order for 'mailhost' to work, name service lookups must work BEFORE the bridge is enabled. This is an example of making sure that you enable the correct interface. Another item to note is that the DNS rules are set up only to allow DNS servers to work. This means that if don't set up a DNS server, you don't need them. Folks used to setting up IP firewalls also probably are used to either having a 'reset' or a 'forward' rule for ident packets (TCP port 113). Unfortunately, this is not an option with the bridging code, so the path of least resistance is to simply pass them to their destination. As long as that destination machine isn't running an ident daemon, this is relatively harmless. The alternative is dropping port 113 connections, which makes firing up things like IRC take forever (the ident probe must timeout). The only other thing that's a little weird that you may have noticed is that there is a rule to let ${us_ip} speak and a separate rule to allow the inside network to speak. Remember that this is because the two sets of traffic will be taking different paths through the kernel and into the packet filter. The inside net will be going through the bridge code. The local machine, however, will be using the normal IP stack to speak. Thus the two rules to handle the different cases. The in via ${oif} rules work for both paths. In general if you use in via rules throughout the filter, you will need to make an exception for locally generated packets, because they didn't "come in" via anything. --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:000908234240:461=_-- End of MIME message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Fri Sep 8 16:11:15 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from envy.geekhouse.net (envy.geekhouse.net [64.81.6.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A550637B506 for ; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:11:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jim@localhost) by envy.geekhouse.net (8.11.0/8.11.0) id e88NB7w00610; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:11:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jim) Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:11:06 -0700 From: Jim Mock To: Andrew Boothman Cc: doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: docs/20794: Request 2 good documents under people.freebsd.or Message-ID: <20000908161106.A545@envy.geekhouse.net> Reply-To: jim@lust.geekhouse.net References: <20000908022043.C576@envy.geekhouse.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from andrew@cream.org on Fri, Sep 08, 2000 at 11:42:40PM +0100 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Fri, 08 Sep 2000 at 23:42:40 +0100, Andrew Boothman wrote: > On 08-Sep-00 Jim Mock wrote: > >> Would you mind casting a critical eye over my markup when I'm done, > >> I'm not 100% certain in what I'm doing yet. > > > > Sure, send 'em over. > > Thanks.

If you read the PXE installs document (http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe) it's not really much to do with how to _install_ freebsd, more to do with how to prepare a server to allow other machines to install off that box. So wouldn't putting this info in the installation chapter just clutter it up, seeing as people who are reading it really just want to know how to _install_ freebsd? I certainly think PXE installs should be mentioned in the installation chapter, along with the instructions that are relevent to someone who is trying to install using PXE, but I think the majority of the document belongs elsewhere in the handbook, probably in part 3 or 4.

Everything you need for a net install is here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/ go to the floppies directory and get both kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. If you successfully create these two disks, you will not be placed an an "ok" prompt. Something went wrong with your creation of the files. From there you will be placed into the installer. With a sufficient connection you can then point at that same place to do an FTP install. Please see the Handbook for other install options. If you have a good connection you can also download and burn your own CD-rom. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ is where you'll find the iso images. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.

I'm sorry to hear that you found it difficult. Below is the methods I use to create FreeBSD install floppies. This is documented in more detail in the FreeBSD handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-guide.html but this is the short version. ===================================================================== Create FreeBSD floppies from a Windows machine: 1) Get the utility to make the floppies, fdimage.exe from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/fdimage.exe 2) Get the 2 floppy images (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp) from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/floppies/kern.flp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/floppies/mfsroot.flp 3) Insert the 1st floppy in floppy drive and drop to a DOS prompt: C:\Windows\Desktop\fdimage.exe kern.flp a: This will put the kern.flp image on your floppy, which will be the 1st disk you will boot with. This is probably your problem. Once that is done, insert your 2nd floppy and type: C:\Windows\Desktop\fdimage.exe mfsroot.flp a: This will put the mfsroot.flp image on the second floppy, which will be your second disk to insert (when prompted by the install). That's it! Stick your kern.flp floppy in your floppy drive and reboot! ================================================================== On a Unix machine: 1) Find the utility to format the floppy. On FreeBSD, this is the fdformat command. Format the floppy: # fdformat -f 1440 /dev/rfd0 This will change a bit depending on the UNIX machine you are on. 2) Get the 2 floopy images from the FreeBSD site: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/floppies/kern.flp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/floppies/mfsroot.flp 3) Use the dd command to copy the downloaded files to the floppy: # dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/rfd0 Repeat step #1-3 to do the same for the mfsroot.flp image, substituting in the appropriate information. That's it! Stick your kern.flp floppy in your floppy drive and reboot! Nick Rogness - Drive defensively. Buy a tank.
