Mah >Release: FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Cisco Systems, Inc. >Environment: RELENG_4 >Description: The attached patch corrects the following (IMHO) problems in the i386 release notes on the RELENG_4 branch. Some of these might also be appropriate for 5-current and/or the Alpha as well. To wit: 1. Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence fragment immediately following. 2. Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add one line of whitespace. 3. In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and colorized ls. 4. In Ethernet section, do: s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/ s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/ s/ethernet/Ethernet/ 5. Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section and into their own second-level section. 6. Add missing period in section header in ATM section. 7. Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is much better though. 8. Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Index: RELNOTES.TXT =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/src/release/texts/i386/RELNOTES.TXT,v retrieving revision 1.72.2.13 diff -c -r1.72.2.13 RELNOTES.TXT *** RELNOTES.TXT 2000/07/16 02:06:44 1.72.2.13 --- RELNOTES.TXT 2000/07/18 21:00:14 *************** *** 12,21 **** For the latest of these 4.0-stable snapshots, you should always see: ! ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD - If you wish to get the latest post-4.0-RELEASE technology. - Table of contents: ------------------ 1.
