merge after 2.2.7 (I was wondering why that bug looked so familiar!). Also update some docs accordingly.

DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
An ``X-'' prefixed before a distribution set means that the XFree86
|
|
3.3.2.3 base distribution, libraries, manual pages, SVGA server and a
|
|
set of default fonts will be selected in addition to the set itself.
|
|
If you select such a set, you will also be presented with a set of
|
|
menus for customizing the selections to your desired X Window System
|
|
setup.
|
|
|
|
Any distribution may be further customized by selecting the `Custom'
|
|
item before leaving the menu.
|
|
|
|
N.B. All references in this document to `complete source' mean the
|
|
complete source tree minus any legally encumbered cryptography code.
|
|
|
|
The current "canned" installations are provided:
|
|
|
|
Developer: Base ("bin") distribution, man pages, dictionary
|
|
files, profiling libraries and the complete source tree.
|
|
|
|
Kern-Developer: As above, but with only kernel sources instead of
|
|
the complete source tree.
|
|
|
|
User: The base distribution, man pages, dictionary files and
|
|
the FreeBSD 1.x, 2.0 and 2.1.x compatibility sets.
|
|
|
|
Minimal: Only the base distribution.
|
|
|
|
Everything: The base distribution, man pages, dictionary files,
|
|
profiling libraries, the FreeBSD 1.x and the FreeBSD 2.0
|
|
compatibility libraries, the complete source tree,
|
|
games and your choice of XFree86 distribution components.
|
|
Note that the cryptography source code is NOT included
|
|
in this collection. You will need to select that by
|
|
hand if you're inside the United States.
|
|
|
|
Custom: Allows you to create or modify your distribution set on
|
|
a piece-by-piece basis.
|
|
|
|
Reset: Clear all currently selected distributions.

ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE:
|
|
--------------------
|
|
You may notice that certain distributions, like "des" and "krb",
|
|
are marked "NOT FOR EXPORT!" This is because it's illegal to export
|
|
them from the United States (or any other country which considers
|
|
encryption technology to be on its restricted export list). Since
|
|
breaking this law only gets the _originating_ site (US!) in trouble,
|
|
please do not load these distributions from U.S. servers! We don't
|
|
like these restrictions any more than you do, but can't do much about
|
|
it (write your U.S. congress person!).
|
|
|
|
A number of "foreign" servers do exist for the benefit of
|
|
non-U.S. sites, the official site being:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
Please get all such export restricted software from there
|
|
if you are outside the U.S., thanks!
