In contrast, the FreeBSD handbook was very clear and allowed me to install and start using FreeBSD quickly and easily. This was version 4.9. Since then the quality of the handbook improved a lot. The handbook is certantly the first FreeBSD resource I would recommend to a FreeBSD novice. Anton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org Agreed - the handbook has been a great resource since I started using FreeBSD in 1997, at version 2.2.something. Greg Lehey's book The Complete FreeBSD is also excellent, and available as a free download - although I am sure he would appreciate contributions or purchases. http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ I suggest downloading the USB image, combine that with Googling and bayam, off you go. Of course, supplement with RTFMing which should always be at your side and all will be well. And lastly, having membership on this fine list is key. The FreeBSD community is indeed grand.

Make Release
one specific question I have, that I can't find in the handbook... To make a FreeBSD release, that is to build the install images... you build world, and kernel.. then go to /etc/src/release and type make release... after this, the release images show up in /usr/obj/usr/src/release What I WANT to know.. is what shell script or file can I edit, to modify the install image BEFORE its created... for example say I wanted to add a line to /etc/rc.conf on the memstick.img file that gets created I understand that there may be better ways to accomplish this, but editing /etc/rc.conf is ONLY a example, im trying to find a simple way to create a slightly modified install media for my own internal purposes... eg: ssh enabled and the ethernet card set to DHCP, so I can remote install... I am aware of mfsBSD, as well as DruidBSD, however i'm looking for something simple that I can script. any help or thoughts is appreciated -- Sam Fourman Jr. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If it doesn't... why not? -- Devin Devin Do you have any idea if there have an changes to bsdinstall process (on scripting side) in the upcoming 9.2 ? Yes, the partedit portion of bsdinstall is scriptable in 9.2. Also, many bug fixes. Also, you can now create /etc/installerconf (no `dot' between installer and conf) and it will be picked up and run by bsdinstall. For your bsdinstall scripts, 2 new tools and a new framework to learn... Tools: bsdconfig(8) and sysrc(8) Framework: bsdconfig libraries (advanced scripting) If you're behind on your sysinstall(8) *(yes... sysinstall(8)) scripting abilities, then I suggest you brush up. * bsdconfig(8) is [mostly] backward compatible sysinstall(8) scripts So... in your bsdinstal installerconf, you can: # Example A # ( do bsdinstall stuff ) then... bsdconfig packages # Example B # ( do bsdinstall stuff ) then... sysrc sshd_enable=YES # Example C # ( do bsdinstall stuff ) then... . /usr/share/bsdconfig/script.subr || exit 1 for package in a-1.0 b-2.0 c-3.0; do packageAdd done Here's a full list of items that bsdconfig(8) supports which are documented in sysinstall(8) (to which all you need to do to access is to include /usr/share/bsdconfig/script.subr): loadConfig deviceRescan mediaOpen mediaClose mediaGetType mediaSetCDROM mediaSetDOS mediaSetDirectory mediaSetFloppy mediaSetNFS mediaSetUFS mediaSetUSB optionsEditor tcpMenuSelect mediaSetFTP mediaSetFTPActive mediaSetFTPPassive mediaSetFTPUserPass mediaSetHTTP mediaSetHTTPProxy configPCNFSD configPackages packageAdd packageDelete packageReinstall installVarDefaults dumpVariables But that's only the tip of the iceberg. To get a full idea of what you can do with shell-script ALONE, you have to see the bsdconfig includes, which are in /usr/share/bsdconfig (link to what's released into 9.2 below): http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/usr.sbin/bsdconfig/share/ For example, there is: common.subr -- stuff everybody should use (makes your code cleaner and gives you basic abilities missing in shell, like f_getvar -- partner to setvar) device.subr -- scan for known devices and create structures with device info and type. Also provide routines for quickly scanning the array of structures for pre-probed devices of a specific type. Also contains code for presenting a menu of devices (of given type) to the user to select, returning the user's selection for processing. dialog.subr -- a *monster* of a library (uber documented to boot). Allows clean abstraction of dialog to where either dialog(1) or Xdialog(1) is a simple proposition to interface to. mustberoot.subr -- if your shell script needs to be able to run as non-root but escalate to root as-needed, this provides a clean way to transition to where your users seemlessly elevate. script.subr -- a dummy include that includes all the other includes. strings.subr -- handy string manipulation routines (tuned both for convenience and performance). struct.subr -- hold information in structs (using shell!) sysrc.subr -- manage rc.conf(5)! variable.subr -- variable definitions (boring; unless you code on bsdconfig -- hey, think about writing a module sometime! I encourage it, it's fun!) Beyond that... ( ok that's enough for this e-mail ). -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

( ok that's enough for this e-mail ). More includes (for the advanced scripting -- again, tapping into what /usr/share/bsdconfig/script.subr provides), there are sub-directories in /usr/share/bsdconfig (but again, script.subr brings them all in): media/ -- one file for each type of media (FTP, HTTP, HTTP Proxy, NFS, ... etc.) networking/ -- scripts for getting, setting, and interactively modifying network packages/ -- package management password/ -- root password startup/ -- rc.conf(5) and startup services timezone/ -- like tzsetup usermgmt/ -- user management stuff Each of those includes a lot of low-level functionality but it's all documented very well. That being said... there's one more avenue of scripting. All of the bsdconfig(8) modules that act as front-ends to the above libraries. Those are in /usr/libexec/bsdconfig -- and you can call those from your bsdinstall ``/etc/installerconf'' too. # Example A /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/090.timezone/timezone However, it's far easier to just say: # Example B bsdconfig timezone For a list of keywords to the modules, say either: bsdconfig -h *or* Peruse the diagram (which is generated by bsdconfig dot): http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/bsdconfig/bsdconfig-HEAD-20130506-3i.svg The green parallelograms are the bsdconfig keywords, and the blue rectangles represent the modules (mousing over it will show the /usr/libexec/bsdconfig path in a tooltip). -- Devin -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
