https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294844 Bug ID: 294844 Summary: articles/remote-install: Uses sysinstall which was removed in 10.0 Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bigsneaky@duck.com This article was written in 2008 so uses sysinstall, but that was removed in 2011 in preparation for 2014's FreeBSD 10.0: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=225937 >From https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/relnotes/ > sysinstall has been removed from the base system. > Auxiliary libraries and tools used by sysinstall > such as libdisk, libftpio, and sade have also been > removed. sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall(8) > and bsdconfig(8). (r225937) So for most of its time on the website, this article's instructions haven't worked. Until it is rewritten to use modern tools, should a notice be placed on the page to indicate the instructions only work on the (unsupported) FreeBSD 9? I know the author mm@ is still active and there has been work underway on mfsBSD related to https://freebsdfoundation.org/mfsbsd-in-base/ and the following reviews (all open at time of typing): - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41704 - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41705 - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41706 If mfsBSD is imported into base, some of the instructions in the article would change too (e.g. "Download and extract the latest mfsBSD release" would be unnecessary). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
