But I found your tutorial extremely hard to follow. First what does a user do if they can't boot from CD? I believe in the intro I pointed out Assumptions that you need to boot from CD for this particular tutorial. May God have mercy on anyone trying to do a floppy install. Even the books say not to do that. Ah here it is: Assumptions: You have a CD-ROM drive You won't be sharing the HD with another OS (If you are, when it comes time to partition, you're on your own I won't be showing you how to partition to use another OS with it, as I don't, and don't feel the need to, as there is enough documentation to get you through this anyway, and besides, you have to partition to use Free BSD anyway, so if you can do that, you can do it to allow another OS to reside on disk with Free BSD too.) You will be setting up a network connection. (If you are not, then skip that section). Are there any preinstallation tasks like: inventory of hardware, ps/2 mouse or serial, size of partitions, user accounts/groups(other than root). I personally find it easier if you have a plan rather than shooting from the hip. Again I believe that was pointed out as well where I pointed out the others I wrote, those say to grab all hardware info from your current OS as you'll need it. And I believe it was pointed out in this one as well. Not positive as I'm not reading through the entire thing, I've been up for 24 hours and I'm to tired to look when I know my other tutorials are linked to at the bottom and that do say to do so. You should have just told people to use the FreeBSD book or goto the handbook online. I did Several times. Except I took out online and put Buy these two books as they are good for anyone using BSD. Again, I believe people should at least buy those two books listed in the tutorial, both go over installs with pictures, and again, this was meant for people that you rightly pointed out don't care how the computer works. The users who've read it and used it have told me it was the easiest doc the have ever read and they were glad it was in non technical terms for them. A couple admins told me they have printed this out and put it up at the office. Another thing is that most people don't want to know or figure out how to install an operating system. They just want that puter thing to work. They don't care about disk partitions, video cards, or mouse daemons they just want it to work.

And another poster said I should have linked to the docs for help, but there was a reason that was left out. See people use this OS for free and never pay for anything to help the developers out. So I instead of linking to free docs told them to BUY two books. This helps them out in that they have a book to look at instead of docs. and the developers get at least a little extra cash for the project. So far I've gotten fairly good feed back but some people didn't quite like it. That's fine, however I got a lot of mail from people who loved that tutorial and said they were thinking of trying a new OS and wanted BSD but the docs were to confusing for some reason or another so they weren't going to install it because it wouldn't work and after reading that, they got it. Another poster said I should not have said Hit this or that arrow key however many times well, to be honest, I don't plan on making it say scroll in the next one I write. I did that once and people went for their mouses to scroll THAT is why I said hit arrow keys. It's only more confusing to people who can just read the Free BSD docs already out there, this was for people coming from Windows where scroll means something on the mouse. My target audience for this wasn't people who already use it, it was for people who never have used anything but Windows. And yes I didn't add anything on configuration because I took most questions myself and then if I couldn't figure out their problems I pointed them to the docs. This worked for most of them and I'm happy with the tournout. So thanks all for the comments, I'll take most of them into consideration for the next one except for the one about scrolling. Sorry man but that would confuse people worse than me saying to hit arrow keys a certain number of times. Believe me, I have an aunt who thinks she's a hacker and good with computers but at the same time thinks the icon in her Windows 98 task bar that tells her she's online with her ISP, is the reaosn her computer doesn't work. Yea. Neat huh? ;) I tested this tutorial out with users who've never used anything but Windows and know nothing at all about computers, I think it did the job of getting people to at least try BSD out as I haven't heard of anyone following this and not getting the thing installed. Wait I take that back, two people couldn't install with it, however, that was from one having a USB keyboard that didn't work and another a USB mouse. So other than that, it's worked for everyone I've told to try it. Can't be that bad of a tutorial, it was published 3 times heh. I've done similar tutorials where I tell exactly which key to press and when, for the following: Slackware SUSE Dual booting Debian and windows XP Dual booting Slackware and Free BSD Dual booting SUSE and Windows XP Lots more but I'm not going to waste space. Anyway, this is longer than I intended so I'll stop here and wait for more comments. I'm not trying to make others sound stupid, my goal is making Unix easier for people who aren't good with computer in general. They need it most of all, Windows is WAY to confusing for a person new to computers, you have to use AV software for worms and so on, and adware scanners, it's to much for a user new to computing, I recommend Linux and BSD to people who don't know much. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But there are many typographical errors in your howto and also many misconceptions that could cause newbies to be confused. I found myself getting confused and I've been using FreeBSD for years. Heres a few notable portions: A) FreeBSD 5.0 is very old, and was never a production release, I noticed you wrote your howto in 2002, so I'll let that one slide. B) Using words like Hit enter twice down up right etc.. will confuse people. you're better of saying something along the lines of. Scroll down to 'foo' etc. C) You make a reference to X86, I assume you mean XFree86 Overall is gives a pretty basic description of the procedure, however you should reference the freebsd handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook) for more information on certain sections. Now, heres where its gets raunchy, I read further in the post, and you are making reference to security on freebsd. If you actually read the advisories, you will notice 9 times out of 10 they are applications on the base system, generally not exploitable remotely. Also, You have to remember that freebsd base and kernel are developed together, I'll find you'll be hard to find a freebsd 'kernel' exploit. Oh, just noticed, you said: User B on the other hand is running Free BSD, and has no idea how to update it. SSH was installed and running by default, and the user doesn't know how to use upgrade_pkg. What is upgrade_pkg? I think you mean portupgrade. Overall, my rant is just the fact I dont think you are in a position to be judging security of an OS without knowing the OS. Its apparent that you do not. I'm not going to comment on the accuracy of your slackware experience, I think I read that you've been using it for 2 years?
