Welcome to the first public release of FreeBSD 2.0 /- _ `-/ '
|
||
|
|
first public snapshot of our new 4.4BSD Lite based (/\/ \ \ /\
|
||
|
|
operating system environment. Our installation / / | ` \
|
||
|
|
procedure has been completely revamped, and should O O ) / |
|
||
|
|
now be much easier for both the novice and `-^--'`< '
|
||
|
|
experienced user alike. We've also gone to some (_.) _ ) /
|
||
|
|
care to make the process of installing the `.___/` /
|
||
|
|
subsequent bindist and other miscellaneous `-----' /
|
||
|
|
distributions considerably more seamless <----. __ / __ \
|
||
|
|
as well as offering a greater variety <----|====O)))==) \) /====
|
||
|
|
of installation methods and options. <----' `--' `.__,' \
|
||
|
|
| |
|

|
|
We hope you'll find this new process as enjoyable \ / /\
|
||
|
|
to use as it was to write! (No, really, it ______( (_ / \______/
|
||
|
|
was! :-) ,' ,-----' |

|
||
|
|
Disclaimer: Please note that despite numerous
|
||
|
|
safeguards, it's still more than possible to WIPE OUT YOUR ENTIRE DISK
|
||
|
|
with this installation! Please do not proceed unless you've
|
||
|
|
adequately backed up any important data first! We really mean it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
|
||
|
|
by toggling over to the alternate screen. Type ALT-F2 to switch
|
||
|
|
to the debugging screen and ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.
|
||
|
|
The debugging output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in
|
||
|
|
understanding your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when
|
||
|
|
reporting any failures in the installation! Thanks!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also wish to read the TROUBLESHOOTING document in _advance_
|
||
|
|
and perhaps save yourself from making those sorts of errors in
|
||
|
|
the first place! :-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow,
|
||
|
|
PageUp/PageDown and TAB keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
|
||
|
|
hit ESC twice. If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation before, then
|
||
|
|
you'll probably know how to deal with this.
|
||
|
|
