+    <title id="Introduction">簡介</title>
+    
+    <para><literal>FreeBSD-questions</literal> is a mailing list maintained by
+      the FreeBSD project to help people who have questions about the normal
+      use of FreeBSD.  Another group, <literal>FreeBSD-hackers</literal>,
+      discusses more advanced questions such as future development
+      work.</para>
+
+    <note>
+      <para>The term <quote>hacker</quote> has nothing to do with breaking
+	into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
+	activity is <quote>cracker</quote>, but the popular press has not found
+	out yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
+	security, and have nothing to do with it.  For a longer description of
+	hackers, see Eric Raymond's <ulink
+	url="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html">How To Become
+	A Hacker</ulink></para>
+    </note>
+    
+    <para>This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice
+      from FreeBSD-questions (the <quote>newcomers</quote>), and also those
+      who answer the questions (the <quote>hackers</quote>).</para>
+
+    <para>Inevitably there is some friction, which stems from the different
+      viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accuse the hackers of being
+      arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accuse the
+      newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting
+      everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of course, there is
+      an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these
+      viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.</para>
+
+    <para>In this document, I would like to do something to relieve this
+      frustration and help everybody get better results from
+      FreeBSD-questions.  In the following section, I recommend how to submit
+      a question; after that, we will look at how to answer one.</para>

+    <title id="subscribe">How to subscribe to FreeBSD-questions</title>
+
+    <para>FreeBSD-questions is a mailing list, so you need mail access.  Point
+      your WWW browser to the <ulink url="&a.questions.url;">information page of the FreeBSD-questions mailing list</ulink>.
+      In the section titled <quote>Subscribing to freebsd-questions</quote> fill
+      in the <quote>Your email address</quote> field; the other fields are optional.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+      <para>The password fields in the subscription form provide only mild
+        security, but should prevent others from messing with your
+        subscription.  <emphasis>Do not use a valuable password</emphasis> as
+        it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext.</para>
+    </note>

+    <title id="unsubscribe">How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions</title>
+
+    <para>When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
+      from <application>mailman</application>.  In this message, amongst
+      other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here is a typical
+      message:</para>
+
+    <literallayout class="monospaced">Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!
+
+To post to this list, send your email to:
+
+  freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
+
+General information about the mailing list is at:
+
+  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions
+
+If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (e.g., switch to
+or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
+subscription page at:
+                                                                                
+http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/grog%40lemsi.de
+
+You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:
+
+  freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org
+
+with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the
+quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.
+
+You must know your password to change your options (including changing
+the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.  It is:
+
+  12345
+
+Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
+passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
+prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
+unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
+your options page that will email your current password to you.</literallayout>
+
+    <para>From the URL specified in your <quote>Welcome</quote> message you

+    <title id="askwho">Should I ask <literal>-questions</literal> or
+      <literal>-hackers</literal>?</title>
+
+    <para>Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
+      <literal>FreeBSD-questions</literal> and
+      <literal>FreeBSD-hackers</literal>.  In some cases, it is not really
+      clear which group you should ask.  The following criteria should help
+      for 99% of all questions, however:</para>
+    
+    <orderedlist>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If the question is of a general nature, ask
+	  <literal>FreeBSD-questions</literal>.  Examples might be questions
+	  about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular &unix;
+	  utility.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If you think the question relates to a bug, but you are not sure,
+	  or you do not know how to look for it, send the message to
+	  <literal>FreeBSD-questions</literal>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If the question relates to a bug, and you are
+	  <emphasis>sure</emphasis> that it is a bug (for example, you can
+	  pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have
+	  a fix), then send the message to
+	  <literal>FreeBSD-hackers</literal>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you
+	  can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the
+	  message to <literal>FreeBSD-hackers</literal>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+    </orderedlist>
+
+    <para>There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for
+      example <literal>FreeBSD-isp</literal>, which caters to the interests of
+      ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD.  If you happen to be
+      an ISP, this does not mean you should automatically send your questions
+      to <literal>FreeBSD-isp</literal>.  The criteria above still apply, and
+      it is in your interest to stick to them, since you are more likely to get
+      good results that way.</para>
+  </sect1>

+  <sect1>
+    <title id="before">Before submitting a question</title>
+

+        <para>Try solving the problem on your own.  If you post a question which
+	  shows that you have tried to solve the problem, your question will
+	  generally attract more positive attention from people reading it.
+	  Trying to solve the problem yourself will also enhance your understanding
+	  of FreeBSD, and will eventually let you use your knowledge to help others
+	  by answering questions posted to the mailing lists.

+    <title id="submit">How to submit a question</title>
+  
+    <para>When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the
+      following points:</para>
+
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD
+	  question. They do it of their own free will.  You can influence this
+	  free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question
+	  supplying as much relevant information as possible.  You can
+	  influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete,
+	  illegible, or rude question. It is perfectly possible to send a
+	  message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you
+	  follow these rules.  It is much more possible to not get an answer if
+	  you do not.  In the rest of this document, we will look at how to get
+	  the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message:
+	  they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them.
+	  Clearly, it is in your interest to specify a subject. <quote>FreeBSD
+	  problem</quote> or <quote>Help</quote> are not enough.  If you provide no subject at
+	  all, many people will not bother reading it.  If your subject is not
+	  specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read
+	  it.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Format your message so that it is	legible, and
+	    PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT!!!!!.  We appreciate that a lot of people do not
+	    speak English as their first language, and we try to make
+	    allowances for that, but it is really painful to try to read a
+	    message written full of typos or without any line breaks.</para>
+	
+	<para>Do not underestimate the effect that a poorly formatted mail
+	  message has, not just on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list.
+	  Your mail message is all people see of you, and if it is poorly
+	  formatted, one line per paragraph, badly spelt, or full of
+	  errors, it will give people a poor impression of you.</para>
+
+	<para>A lot of badly formatted messages come from
+	  <ulink url="http://www.lemis.com/email.html">bad mailers or badly
+	  configured mailers</ulink>.  The following mailers are known to
+	  send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about
+	  them:</para>
+
+	<itemizedlist>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>cc:Mail</para>

+	    <para>&netscape;</para>
+	  </listitem>
+	</itemizedlist>
+
+	<para>As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent
+	  offenders.  If at all possible, use a &unix; mailer. If you must use a
+	  mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up
+	  correctly. Try not to use <acronym>MIME</acronym>: a lot of people
+	  use mailers which do not get on very well with
+	  <acronym>MIME</acronym>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly.  This may
+	  seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many
+	  of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a
+	  day.  They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by
+	  date, and if your message does not come before the first answer, they
+	  may assume they missed it and not bother to look.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Do not include unrelated questions in the same message.  Firstly,
+	  a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it is more
+	  difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to
+	  read the message.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult
+	  area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit,
+	  but here is a start:</para>
+
+	<itemizedlist>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>In nearly every case, it is important to know the version of
+	      FreeBSD you are running.  This is particularly the case for
+	      FreeBSD-CURRENT, where you should also specify the date of the
+	      sources, though of course you should not be sending questions
+	      about -CURRENT to FreeBSD-questions.</para>
+	  </listitem>
+	  
+	  <listitem><para>With any problem which <emphasis>could</emphasis> be
+	      hardware related, tell us about your hardware.  In case of
+	      doubt, assume it is possible that it is hardware.  What kind of
+	      CPU are you using?  How fast?  What motherboard?  How much
+	      memory?  What peripherals?</para>
+
+	    <para>There is a judgement call here, of course, but the output of
+	      the &man.dmesg.8; command can frequently be very useful, since it
+	      tells not just what hardware you are running, but what version of
+	      FreeBSD as well.</para>
+	  </listitem>
+	  
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>If you get error messages, do not say <quote>I get error
+		messages</quote>, say (for example) <quote>I get the error
+		message 'No route to host'</quote>.</para>
+	  </listitem>
+
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>If your system panics, do not say <quote>My system
+		panicked</quote>, say (for example) <quote>my system panicked
+		with the message 'free vnode isn't'</quote>.</para>
+	  </listitem>
+
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us
+	      what hardware you have.  In particular, it is important to know
+	      the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your
+	      machine.</para>
+	  </listitem>
+
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the
+	      configuration.  Which version of PPP do you use?  What kind of
+	      authentication do you have?  Do you have a static or dynamic IP
+	      address?  What kind of messages do you get in the log
+	      file?</para>
+	  </listitem>
+	</itemizedlist>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+          <para>A lot of the information you need to supply is the output of
+	  programs, such as &man.dmesg.8;, or console messages, which usually
+	  appear in <filename>/var/log/messages</filename>.  Do not try to copy
+	  this information by typing it in again; it is a real pain, and you are
+	  bound to make a mistake. To send log file contents, either make a
+	  copy of the file and use an editor to trim the information to what
+	  is relevant, or cut and paste into your message.  For the output of
+	  programs like &man.dmesg.8;, redirect the output to a file and
+	  include that.  For example,</para>
+
+	<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>dmesg &gt; /tmp/dmesg.out</userinput></screen>
+
+	<para>This redirects the information to the file
+	  <filename>/tmp/dmesg.out</filename>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If you do all this, and you still do not get an answer, there
+	  could be other reasons.  For example, the problem is so complicated
+	  that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer
+	  was offline.  If you do not get an answer after, say, a week, it
+	  might help to re-send the message.  If you do not get an answer to
+	  your second message, though, you are probably not going to get one
+	  from this forum.  Resending the same message again and again will
+	  only make you unpopular.</para>
+      </listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+    
+    <para>To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following
+      question (yes, it is the same one in each case).
+      You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to
+      answer:</para>

+
+I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CDROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot
+of difficulty installing it.  I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of
+memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball
+disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CDROM drive.  The installation works just
+fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message
+<quote>Missing Operating System</quote>.</literallayout>

+
+    <para>Often you will want to send in additional information to a question
+      you have already sent.  The best way to do this is to reply to your
+      original message.  This has three advantages:</para>
+
+    <orderedlist>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>You include the original message text, so people will know what
+	  you are talking about.  Do not forget to trim unnecessary text out,
+	  though.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to
+	  put one in, did you not?).  Many mailers will sort messages by
+	  subject. This helps group messages together.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the
+	  previous message.  Some mailers, such as
+	  <ulink url="http://www.mutt.org/">mutt</ulink>, can
+	  <emphasis>thread</emphasis> messages, showing the exact
+	  relationships between the messages.</para>
+      </listitem>
+    </orderedlist>
+  </sect1>
+  
+  <sect1>
+    <title id="answer">How to answer a question</title>
+
+
+    <para>Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider:</para>
+
+    <orderedlist>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to
+	  answering questions.  Read them.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Has somebody already answered the question?  The easiest way to
+	  check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then
+	  (hopefully) you will see the question followed by any answers, all
+	  together.</para>
+	
+	<para>If somebody has already answered it, it does not automatically
+	  mean that you should not send another answer.  But it makes sense to
+	  read all the other answers first.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been
+	  said?  In general, <quote>Yeah, me too</quote> answers do not help
+	  much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is
+	  describing a problem he is having, and he does not know whether it is
+	  his fault or whether there is something wrong with the hardware or
+	  software.  If you do send a <quote>me too</quote> answer, you should
+	  also include any further relevant information.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Are you sure you understand the question?  Very frequently, the
+	  person who asks the question is confused or does not express himself
+	  very well.  Even with the best understanding of the system, it is
+	  easy to send a reply which does not answer the question.  This
+	  does not help: you will leave the person who submitted the question
+	  more frustrated or confused than ever.  If nobody else answers, and
+	  you are not too sure either, you can always ask for more
+	  information.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Are you sure your answer is correct?
+	If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a
+	better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, <quote>I
+	do not know if this is correct, but since nobody else has
+	replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CDROM with
+	a frog?</quote>.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the
+	  sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the
+	  FreeBSD-questions are <quote>lurkers</quote>: they learn by reading
+	  messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which
+	  is of general interest off the list, you are depriving these people
+	  of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people
+	  send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to
+	  trim the Cc: lines appropriately.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the
+	  minimum, but do not overdo it.  It should still be possible for
+	  somebody who did not read the original message to understand what
+	  you are talking about.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Use some technique to identify which text came from the original
+	  message, and which text you add.  I personally find that prepending
+	  <quote><literal>&gt; </literal></quote> to the original message
+	  works best.  Leaving white space after the
+	  <quote><literal>&gt; </literal></quote> and leave empty lines
+	  between your text and the original text both make the result more
+	  readable.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which
+	  it replies).  It is very difficult to read a thread of responses
+	  where each reply comes before the text to which it replies.</para>
+      </listitem>
+
+      <listitem>
+	<para>Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a
+	  text such as <quote>Re: </quote>.  If your mailer does not do it
+	  automatically, you should do it manually.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+	<para>If the submitter did not abide by format conventions (lines too
+	  long, inappropriate subject line), <emphasis>please</emphasis> fix
+	  it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as
+	  <quote>HELP!!??</quote>), change the subject line to (say)
+	  <quote>Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)</quote>.  That
+	  way other people trying to follow the thread will have less
+	  difficulty following it.</para>
+
+	<para>In such cases, it is appropriate to say what you did and why you
+	  did it, but try not to be rude.  If you find you can not answer
+	  without being rude, do not answer.</para>
+
+	<para>If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad
+	  format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list.  You can just
+	  send him this message in reply, if you like.</para>
