Looking for info on > FreeBSD kernel and some OS theory. The former focuses on administration. The best place to start looking for information is at the FreeBSD site: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/design-44bsd/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ If you need answers to specific questions, I'd suggest the place to get the most definitive answers are the FreeBSD mailing lists. There are also other documents you may find of interest at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/ .

Not wishing to step on Kirk's toes but there is another one at the URL in my signature - also not official of course. If you have time to write documentation that doesn't already exist, please do put it *somewhere* no matter where that is (as long as google can find it). :) -- http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B "[Open Source is] like trying to sell human rights to China because it might lead to more effective business models." -- David Kastrup, news:gnu.misc.discuss pgp0B2P0BJkA1.pgp Description: PGP signature

RE: FreeBSD Wiki
What you are talking about is commonly refereed to as "how-to" Do an google search on FreeBSD + how-to for list of sites which accept your type of how-to write ups. You can post your how-to to all the sites that will accept them. There is noting like that in the official FreeBSD.org environment. All FreeBSD has is the official handbook and if you feel your write out is better than what is in the handbook, or if handbook does not cover your how-to, then tar your how-to and submit it to the FreeBSD doc group using the pr-send command. There are instruction to follow on Freebsd.org site under doc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Graham Bentley Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 8:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FreeBSD Wiki Hi All, I was just wondering something :- I have used in the past Trustix Linux which has a nice Wiki page http://doc.trustix.org/cgi-bin/trustixdoc.cgi?TrustixWiki It includes some nice step by step configs for that distro and I think its great that peeps can add there own info and collaborate in this way. I wrote the small part on Samba. (Ok its basic stuff but usefull if you are starting out) Whilst the mailing lists are great, searchable etc things do get lost in time. Wouldnt it be great if there was a user cookbook for commonly required tasks (how many times has this list had the same questions asked :) Examples:- 1) Installing PostNuke on 5.2.1 2) Serving anonymous FTP 3) Creating a LAN Mail Hub Is there any such resource for FreeBSD ? (I am guessing that there is more official documentation but that this is less task / step orientated ?) If not - fancy starting one ?? :)) I have only got ADSL and an old box but would be willing to host it. All you have to do is help me get the software up and running :)) g:o) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
