the 4.x-stable branch (the next release for which will be 4.3)
|
|
are marked [MERGED].
|
|
|
|
Any installation failures or crashes should be reported by using the
|
|
send-pr command (those preferring a Web-based interface can also see
|
|
http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html).

1. What's new since the 4.0/5.0 branch
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
All changes described here are unique to the 5.0 branch unless
|
|
specifically marked as [MERGED] features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
A new event notification facility called kqueue was added to the
|
|
FreeBSD kernel. This is a new interface which is able to replace
|
|
poll/select, offering improved performance, as well as the ability
|
|
to report many different types of events. Support for monitoring
|
|
changes in sockets, pipes, fifos, and files are present, as well as
|
|
for signals and processes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Support for named extended attributes was added to the FreeBSD kernel.
|
|
This allows the kernel, and appropriately privileged userland processes,
|
|
to tag files and directories with attribute data. Extended attributes
|
|
were added to support the TrustedBSD Project, in particular ACLs,
|
|
capability data, and mandatory access control labels (see
|
|
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.extattr for details).
|
|
|
|
Support for Intel's Wired for Management 2.0 (PXE) was added to
|
|
the FreeBSD boot loader. Due to API differences, the older PXE
|
|
versions are not supported. This allow network booting using DHCP. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1b Shared Memory Objects are now supported. The implementation
|
|
uses regular files, but automatically enables the MAP_NOSYNC flag
|
|
when they are mmap(2)ed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Added support for PCI Ethernet adapters based on the National Semiconductor
|
|
DP83815 chipset, including the NetGear FA312-TX.
|
|
|
|
Due to a licensing change, softupdates have been integrated into the
|
|
main portion of the kernel source tree. As a consequence, softupdates
|
|
are now available with the GENERIC kernel. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
When running with softupdates, statfs(2) and df(1) will track the
|
|
number of blocks and files that are committed to being freed.
|
|
|
|
A driver for AGP hardware has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ipfilter has been updated to 3.4.16. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Various fixes and improvements to the IPv6 code have been merged in
|
|
from the KAME project, including significantly-improved IPSEC
|
|
functionality. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
twe 3ware ATA RAID driver added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The tap driver, a virtual Ethernet device driver for bridged
|
|
configurations, has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
accept_filters, a kernel feature to reduce overheads when accepting
|
|
and reading new connections on listening sockets, has been added.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ata(4) driver now has support for ATA100 controllers. In
|
|
addition, it now supports the ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 chipset, the CMD
|
|
648 ATA66 and CMD 649 ATA100 chipsets, and the Cyrix 5530. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
To provide more flexible configuration, the various options for the
|
|
ata(4) driver are now boot loader tunables, rather than kernel
|
|
configure-time options. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ata(4) driver now has support for tagged queuing, which is
|
|
enabled by the hw.ata.tags loader tunable. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ata(4) driver now has support for ATA "pseudo" RAID controllers as
|
|
the Promise Fasttrak and HighPoint HPT370 controllers. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ti(4) driver now supports the Alteon AceNIC 1000baseT Gigabit
|
|
Ethernet and Netgear GA620T 1000baseT Gigabit cards. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The mly(4) driver, for Mylex PCI to SCSI AccelRAID and eXtremeRAID
|
|
controllers with firmware 6.x and later, has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The asr(4) driver, which provides support for the Adaptec SCSI RAID
|
|
controller family, as well as the DPT SmartRAID V and VI families, has
|
|
been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
SMP support has been largely reworked, incorporating code from BSD/OS
|
|
5.0. One of the main features of SMPng ("SMP Next Generation") is to
|
|
allow more processes to run in kernel, without the need for spin locks
|
|
that can dramatically reduce the efficiency of multiple processors.
|
|
Interrupt handlers now have contexts associated with them that allow
|
|
them to be blocked, which reduces the need to lock out interrupts.
|
|
|
|
The xl(4) driver now supports the 3Com 3C556 and 3C556B MiniPCI
|
|
adapters used on some laptops. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The kernel and modules have been moved to the directory /boot/kernel,
|
|
so they can be easily manipulated together. The boot loader has been
|
|
updated to make this change as seamless as possible.
|
|
|
|
A filesystem snapshot capability has been added to FFS. Details can
|
|
be found in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot.
|
|
|
|
Softupdates for FFS have received some bug fixes and enhancements.
|
|
|
|
A bug in FFS that could cause superblock corruption on very large
|
|
filesystems has been corrected. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Support for the Adaptec FSA family of PCI-SCSI RAID controllers has
|
|
been added, in the form of the aac(4) driver. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ng_mppc(4) and ng_bridge(4) node types have been added to the
|
|
netgraph subsystem. The ng_ether(4) node is now dynamically loadable.
|
|
Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements have also been made. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The pcn(4) driver, which supports the AMD PCnet/FAST, PCnet/FAST+,
|
|
PCnet/FAST III, PCnet/PRO, PCnet/Home, and HomePNA adapters, has been added.
|
|
Although these cards are already supported by the lnc(4) driver, the pcn
|
|
driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment feature to
|
|
achieve zero-copy receive. This driver is also machine-independent,
|
|
so it will work on both the i386 and alpha platforms. The lnc driver
|
|
is still needed to support non-PCI cards. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A bug in the ed(4) driver that could cause panics with very short
|
|
packets and BPF or bridging active has been fixed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The i386 boot loader now has support for a "nullconsole" console type,
|
|
for use on systems with neither a video console nor a serial
|
|
port. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The pcm(4) driver now supports the ESS Solo 1, Maestro-1, Maestro-2,
|
|
and Maestro-2e; Forte Media fm801, ESS Maestro-2e, and VIA
|
|
Technologies VT82C686A sound card/chipsets, and has received some
|
|
other updates. Separate drivers for the SoundBlaster 8 and
|
|
Soundblaster 16 now replace an older, unified driver. A driver for
|
|
the CMedia CMI8338/CMI8738 sound chips has been added. A driver for
|
|
the CS4281 sound chip has been added. A driver for the S3 Sonicvibes
|
|
chipset has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A driver for the Advance Logic ALS4000 has been added.
|
|
|
|
A driver for the ESS Maestro-3/Allegro has been added, however due to
|
|
licensing restrictions, it cannot be compiled into the kernel.
|
|
[MERGED] To use this driver, add the following line to
|
|
/boot/loader.conf:
|
|
|
|
snd_maestro3_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
Replace the PQ_*CACHE options with a single PQ_CACHESIZE option to be
|
|
set to the cache size in kilobytes. The old options are still
|
|
supported for backwards compatibility. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The NCPU, NAPIC, NBUS, and NIN kernel configuration options,
|
|
for configuring SMP kernels, have been removed. NCPU is now set to a
|
|
maximum of 16, and the other, aforementioned options are now dynamic.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ahc(4) driver has been updated. Among various improvements are
|
|
improved compatibility with chips in "RAID Port" mode and systems with
|
|
AAA and ARO cards installed, as well as performance improvements.
|
|
Some bugs were also fixed, including a rare hang on Ultra2/U160
|
|
controllers. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ACPI support has been merged in from the FreeBSD-ACPI project.
|
|
|
|
isdn4bsd has been updated to version 0.96.00
|
|
|
|
The ihfc(4) driver for supporting Cologne Chip Designs HFC devices
|
|
under isdn4bsd has been added.
|
|
|
|
The itjc(4) driver for supporting NETjet-S / Teles PCI-TJ under
|
|
isdn4bsd has been added.
|
|
|
|
Experimental support for the Eicon.Diehl DIVA 2.0 and 2.02 ISA PnP
|
|
ISDN cards has been added to the isic(4) isdn4bsd driver.
|
|
|
|
Active CAPI-based ISDN cards manufacured by AVM are now supported
|
|
using the i4bcapi(4) and the iavc(4) driver. The supported cards
|
|
are the AVM B1 PCI and AVM B1 ISA Basic Rate cards and the AVM T1
|
|
Primary Rate cards.
|
|
|
|
Support for Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A based Ethernet PC-Cards is back.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
devfs(5), which allows entries in the /dev directory to be built
|
|
automatically and supports more flexible attachment of devices, has
|
|
been largely reworked. devfs(5) is now enabled by default, and is
|
|
disabled by the NODEVFS kernel option.
|
|
|
|
Preliminary Cardbus support under NEWCARD has been added. This supports
|
|
TI113X, TI12XX, TI125X, Ricoh 5C46/5C47, Topic 95/97/100 and
|
|
Cirrus Logic PD683X bridges. 16-bit PC Card support under this is not yet
|
|
functional.
|
|
|
|
Write combining for crashdumps has been implemented. This feature
|
|
is useful when write caching is disabled on both SCSI and IDE disks,
|
|
where large memory dumps could take up to an hour to complete. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The bktr(4) driver has been updated to 2.15. New tuner types have
|
|
been added, and improvements to the KLD module and to memory
|
|
allocation have been made. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The bktr(4) driver has been updated to 2.17. This fixes bugs in devfs
|
|
when unloading and reloading, and syncs with some NetBSD
|
|
changes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The bktr(4) driver has been updated to 2.18. This adds support for
|
|
new Hauppauge Model 44xxx WinTV Cards (the ones with no audio mux).
|
|
|
|
Extremely large swap areas (>67 GB) no longer panic the system.
|
|
|
|
The snc(4) driver for the National Semiconductor DP8393X (SONIC)
|
|
Ethernet controller. Currently, this driver is only used on the PC-98
|
|
architecture. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ich(4) driver for the Intel 82801AA (ICH) SMBus controller and
|
|
compatibles has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The Inode Filesystem (IFS) has been added; more information can be
|
|
found in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ifs/README.
|
|
|
|
The uscanner(4) driver for basic USB scanner support using SANE. See
|
|
the SANE home page for supported scanners. HP ScanJet 4100C, 5200C
|
|
and 6300C are known to be working.
|
|
|
|
The umodem(4) driver for USB modems. Supported so far is only the
|
|
3Com 5605 and Metricom Ricochet GS wireless USB modems.
|
|
|
|
The ncv, nsp, and stg drivers have been ported from NetBSD/pc98.
|
|
They supports NCR 53C50 / Workbit Ninja SCSI-3 / TMC 18C30, 18C50
|
|
based PC-Card/ISA SCSI controllers. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The cd(4) driver now has support for write operations. This allows
|
|
writing to DVD-RAM, PD and similar drives that probe as CD devices.
|
|
Note that change affects only random-access writeable devices, not
|
|
sequential-only writeable devices such as CD-R drives, which are
|
|
supported by cdrecord. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ISO-9660 filesystem now has a hook that supports a loadable
|
|
character conversion routine. The sysutils/cd9660_unicode port
|
|
contains a set of common conversions. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The an(4) driver for Cisco Aironet cards now supports Wired Equivalent
|
|
Privacy (WEP) encryption, settable via ancontrol(8). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The pcm(4) audio driver is now compiled into the GENERIC kernel by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
The pccard driver and pccardc(8) now support multiple "beep types"
|
|
upon card insertion and removal. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The spic(4) driver, which provides access to the jog dial device on
|
|
some Sony laptops, has been added.
|
|
|
|
A new netgraph node type ng_one2many(4) for multiplexing and
|
|
demultiplexing packets over multiple links has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A number of cleanups and enhancements have been applied to the PCI
|
|
subsystem. /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors now contains a vendor/device
|
|
database, which can be used by pciconf(8).
|
|
|
|
netgraph(4) has received some updates.
|
|
|
|
sbufs, null-terminated string data structures, and their associated
|
|
support routines, have been added to the kernel. Details are in
|
|
sbuf(9).
|
|
|
|
The el(4) driver can now be loaded as a module.
|
|
|
|
The vinum(4) volume manager has received some bug fixes and enhancements.
|
|
|
|
ICMP ECHO and TSTAMP replies are now rate limited. TCP RSTs generated
|
|
due to packets sent to open and unopen ports are now limited by
|
|
separate counters. Each rate limiting queue now has its own
|
|
description.
|
|
|
|
ICMP UNREACH_FILTER_PROHIB messages can now RST TCP connections in the
|
|
SYN_SENT state if the correct sequence numbers are sent back, as
|
|
controlled by the net.inet.tcp.icmp_may_rst sysctl. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
TCP has received some bug fixes for its delayed ACK behavior. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
TCP now supports the NewReno modification to the TCP Fast Recovery
|
|
algorithm. This behavior can be controlled via the
|
|
net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl variable. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
TCP now uses a more aggressive timeout for initial SYN segments; this
|
|
allows initial connection attempts to be dropped much faster. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The TCP_COMPAT_42 kernel option has been removed.
|
|
|
|
A new sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface, which is on by default,
|
|
causes IP to verify that an incoming packet arrives on an interface
|
|
that has an address matching the packet's destination address. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
PECOFF (WIN32 Execution file format) support has been added.
|
|
|
|
kernfs(5) is obsolete and has been retired.
|
|
|
|
md(4), the memory disk device, has had the functionality of vn(4)
|
|
incorporated into it. md(4) devices can now be configured by
|
|
mdconfig(8). vn(4) has been removed.
|
|
|
|
The ray(4) driver, which supports the Webgear Aviator wireless network
|
|
cards, has been committed. The operation of ray(4) interfaces can be
|
|
modified by raycontrol(8). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Linksys Fast Ethernet PCCARD cards supported by the ed(4) driver now
|
|
require the addition of flag 0x80000 to their config line in
|
|
pccard.conf(5). This flag is not optional. These Linksys cards will
|
|
not be recognized without it. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A new API has been added for sound cards with hardware volume
|
|
control.
|
|
|
|
The VESA S3 linear framebuffer driver has been added.
|
|
|
|
A new sysctl 'net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface' to controls the
|
|
suppression of logging when ARP replies arrive on the wrong
|
|
interface. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A bug in the NFS client that caused bogus access times with
|
|
O_EXCL|O_CREAT opens was fixed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Client-side NFS locks have been implemented.
|
|
|
|
Support for the 80386 processor has been removed from the GENERIC
|
|
kernel, as this code seriously pessimizes performance on other ia32
|
|
processors.
|
|
|
|
The I386_CPU kernel option to support the 80386 processor is now mutually
|
|
exclusive with support for other ia32 processors; this should slightly
|
|
improve performance on the 80386 due to the elimination of runtime
|
|
processor type checks.
|
|
|
|
Custom kernels that will run on the 80386 can still be built by changing
|
|
the cpu options in the kernel configuration file to only include I386_CPU.
|
|
|
|
Condition variables have now been implemented in the FreeBSD kernel.
|
|
See condvar(9) for more details.
|
|
|
|
The "make buildkernel" target now gets the name of the
|
|
configuration(s) to build from the KERNCONF variable, not KERNEL. It
|
|
is no longer required, in some cases, for a "buildworld" to precede a
|
|
"buildkernel". (The buildworld is still required when upgrading across
|
|
major releases, across binutil upgrades and when config changes
|
|
version.)
|
|
|
|
bridge(4) and dummynet(4) have received some enhancements and bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
ipfw(8) has a new feature ("me") that allows for packet matching on
|
|
interfaces with dynamically-changing IP addresses. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The isp(4) driver has been updated. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The isp(4) driver now supports target mode for Qlogic SCSI cards,
|
|
including Ultra2 and Ultra3 and dual bus cards.
|
|
|
|
The ida disk driver now has crashdump support. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The random(4) device has been rewritten to use the Yarrow algorithm.
|
|
It harvests entropy from a variety of interrupt sources, including the
|
|
console devices, Ethernet and point-to-point network interfaces, and
|
|
mass-storage devices. Entropy from the random(4) device is now
|
|
periodically saved to files in /var/db/entropy.
|
|
|
|
The fxp(4) driver now requires a "device miibus" entry in the kernel
|
|
configuration file. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A new NFS hash function (based on the Fowler/Noll/Vo hash algorithm)
|
|
has been implemented to improve NFS performance by increasing the
|
|
efficiency of the nfsnode hash tables. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The syscons(4) driver now supports keyboard-controlled pasting, by
|
|
default bound to Shift-Insert.
|
|
|
|
Support for file system Access Control Lists (ACLs) has been
|
|
introduced, allowing more fine-grained control of discretionary access
|
|
control on files and directories. This support was integrated from
|
|
the TrustedBSD Project. More details can be found in
|
|
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.acls.
|
|
|
|
The CAM error recovery code has been updated.
|
|
|
|
The directory layout preference algorithm for FFS has been changed to
|
|
improve its speed on large filesystems.
|
|
|
|
The wx(4) driver now supports the Intel PRO1000-F and PRO1000-T
|
|
(10/100/1000) adapters. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The labpc(4) driver has been removed due to bitrot.
|
|
|
|
A new kernel option, "options REGRESSION", enables interfaces and
|
|
functionality intended for use during correctness and regression
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
smbfs (CIFS) support in kernel has been added.
|
|
|
|
Added support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the National
|
|
Semiconductor DP83820 and DP83821 gigabit ethernet controller chips,
|
|
including the D-Link DGE-500T, SMC EZ Card 1000 (SMC9462TX),
|
|
Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIC 1000TA and 1000TPC and Addtron AEG320T.
|
|
|
|
The USER_LDT kernel option is now activated by default.
|
|
|
|
A new ddb command "show pcpu" lists some of the per-CPU data.
|
|
|
|
A new digi(4) driver has been added to support PCI Xr-based and ISA
|
|
Xem Digiboard cards. A new digictl program is (mainly) used to
|
|
re-initialise cards that have external port modules attached such as
|
|
the PC/Xem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2. SECURITY FIXES
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
sysinstall(8) now allows the user to select one of three "security
|
|
profiles" at install-time. These profiles enable different levels of
|
|
system security by enabling or disabling various system services in
|
|
rc.conf(5) on new installs. [MERGED]
|
|

|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A bug in ipfw(8) and ipfw6(8) in which inbound TCP segments could

|
|
to 8.2.3 (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:18). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH now has code to prevent (instead of just mitigating through
|
|
connection limits) an attack that can lead to guessing the server key
|
|
(not host key) by regenerating the server key when an RSA failure is
|
|
detected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:24). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
A number of programs have had output formatting strings corrected so
|
|
as to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities. [MERGED]

|
|
Buffer overflows in glob(3), which could cause arbitrary code to be
|
|
run on an FTP server, have been closed. In addition, to prevent some
|
|
forms of DOS attacks, glob(3) now allows specification of a limit on
|
|
the number of pathname matches it will return. ftpd(8) now uses this
|
|
feature (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:33). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Initial sequence numbers in TCP are more thoroughly randomized, using
|
|
an algorithm obtained from OpenBSD (see security advisory

1.3. USERLAND CHANGES
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
cdcontrol(1) now supports a "cdid" command, which calculates and
|
|
displays the CD serial number, using the same algorithm used by the CDDB
|
|
database. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
mtree(8) now includes support for a file listing pathnames to be excluded
|
|
when creating and verifying prototypes. This makes it easier to use
|
|
mtree as a part of an intrusion-detection system. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL has been upgraded to 0.9.6. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL now has support for machine-dependent ASM optimizations,
|
|
activated by the new MACHINE_CPU Makefile variable. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The OPIE one-time-password suite has been updated to 2.32. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.1.0, which provides support for the
|
|
SSH2 protocol, including DSA keys. Therefore, OpenSSH users in the US
|
|
no longer need to rely on the restrictively-licensed RSAREF toolkit
|
|
which is required to handle RSA keys. OpenSSH 2.1 interoperates well
|
|
with other SSH2 clients and servers, including the ssh2 port. See
|
|
http://www.openssh.com for more details. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH can now authenticate using OPIE passwords in SSH1 mode.
|
|
Support is not yet available in SSH2 mode. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.2.0. ssh-add(1) and ssh-agent(1) can now
|
|
handle DSA keys. An sftp server interoperable with ssh.com clients
|
|
and others has been added. scp(1) can now handle files >2GB.
|
|
Interoperability with other ssh2 clients/servers has been improved. A
|
|
new feature to limit the number of outstanding unauthenticated ssh
|
|
connections in sshd has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.3.0. This version adds support for the
|
|
Rijndael encryption algorithm. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
PAM support for OpenSSH has been added.
|
|
|
|
A long-standing bug in SSH, which sometimes resulted in a dropped
|
|
session when an X11-forwarded client was closed, was fixed.
|
|
|
|
Kerberos compatability has been added to OpenSSH. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been modified to be more resistant to traffic analysis by
|
|
requiring that "non-echoed" characters are still echoed back in a null
|
|
packet, as well as by padding passwords sent so as not to hint at
|
|
password lengths. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH now has a "VersionAddendum" configuration setting for sshd(8)
|
|
to allow changing the part of the OpenSSH version string after the
|
|
main version number.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been updated to version 2.9, which adds two new programs,
|
|
sftp(1) and ssh-keyscan(1). Among the various enhancements: The
|
|
default protocol is now v2, rekeying of existing SSH sessions is now
|
|
supported, and an experimental SOCKS4 proxy has been added to the
|
|
ssh(1) client.
|
|
|
|
Support for USB devices was added to the GENERIC kernel and to the
|
|
installation programs to support USB devices out of the box. Note that
|
|
an AT keyboard must still be used during the initial install, but it
|
|
should work fine afterwards. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The entire i386 bootstrap was revamped to support automatic detection and
|
|
use of the Enhanced Disk Drive BIOS extensions to support booting beyond
|
|
the 1023rd cylinder. As part of this change, the FreeBSD boot manager
|
|
(boot0) was increased from 1 sector in size (512 bytes), to 2 sectors in
|
|
length (1024 bytes). As a result, several userland changes were made to
|
|
cope with MBR boot loaders of varying sizes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The csh(1) shell has been replaced by tcsh(1), although it can still
|
|
be run as csh(1). tcsh has been updated to version 6.10. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The more(1) command has been replaced by less(1), although it can still
|
|
be run as more(1). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ls(1) can produce colorized listings with the -G flag (and appropriate
|
|
terminal support). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
libalias(3) and natd(8) now support RFC 2391 (Load Sharing using IP
|
|
Network Address Translation), as well as new translation options.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD can now be installed over an IPv6-only network. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sendmail upgraded from version 8.9.3 to version 8.11.3. Important changes
|
|
include: new default file locations (see
|
|
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README); newaliases is limited to root and
|
|
trusted users; STARTTLS encryption; and the MSA port (587) is turned on by
|
|
default. See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more
|
|
information. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. If you are
|
|
using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf included with
|
|
FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine. If you are using a
|
|
hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check to make sure
|
|
the F=S flag is set on the Mlocal line. Those with .mc files who need to
|
|
add the flag can do so by adding the following line to their your .mc file
|
|
and regenerating the sendmail.cf file:
|
|
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl
|
|
Note that FEATURE(`local_lmtp') already does this. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY
|
|
commands. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
vacation(1) has been updated to use the version included with
|
|
sendmail. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The sendmail(8) configuration building tools are installed in
|
|
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
New make.conf options: SENDMAIL_MC and SENDMAIL_ADDITIONAL_MC. See
|
|
/etc/defaults/make.conf for more information. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The Makefile in /etc/mail now supports: the new SENDMAIL_MC make.conf
|
|
option; the ability to build .cf files from .mc files; generalized map
|
|
rebuilding; rebuilding the aliases file; and the ability to stop, start,
|
|
and restart sendmail. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sysinstall(8) now properly preserves /etc/mail during a binary
|
|
upgrade. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
awk has been upgraded from gawk-3.0.4 to gawk-3.0.6. This fixes a number
|
|
of non-critical bugs and includes a few performance tweaks. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
routed(8) has been updated to version 2.22. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The truncate(1) utility, which truncates or extends the length
|
|
of files, has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
syslogd(8) can take a -n option to disable DNS queries for every
|
|
request. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
kenv(1), a command to dump the kernel environment, has been added.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The behavior of periodic(8) is now controlled by /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
|
|
and /etc/periodic.conf. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
boot98cfg(8), a PC-98 boot manager installation and configuration
|
|
utility, has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
logger(1) can now send messages directly to a remote syslog. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports hardware watchpoints (using the kernel's debug register
|
|
support that has been introduced in FreeBSD 4.0). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
which(1) is now a C program, rather than a Perl script.
|
|
|
|
killall(1) is now a C program, rather than a Perl script. As a
|
|
result, killall's -m option now uses the regular expression syntax of
|
|
regex(3), rather than that of perl(1). [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
killall(1) now allows non-root users to kill SUID root processes that
|
|
they started.
|
|
|
|
finger(1) now has the ability to support fingering aliases, via the
|
|
finger.conf(5) file. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
finger(1) now has support for a .pubkey file.
|
|
|
|
nsswitch support has been merged from NetBSD. By creating an
|
|
nsswitch.conf(5) file, FreeBSD can be configured so that various
|
|
databases such as passwd(5) and group(5) can be looked up using flat
|
|
files, NIS, or Hesiod. The old hosts.conf(5) file is no longer used.
|
|
|
|
sshd X11Forwarding is now turned on by default on server (any risk is
|
|
to the client, where it is already disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
RSA Security has waived all patent rights to the RSA algorithm (two
|
|
weeks before the patent was due to expire). As a result, the native
|
|
OpenSSL implementation of the RSA algorithm is now activated by
|
|
default, and the rsaref port and librsaUSA are no longer
|
|
required for USA residents. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sshd is now enabled by default on new installs. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
perl has been updated to version 5.6.0.
|
|
|
|
Binutils have been upgraded to 2.10.1. [MERGED]
|
|
|

|
The ifconfig(8) command can set the link-layer address of an interface.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ifconfig(8) can now accept addresses in slash/CIDR notation. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
setproctitle(3) has been moved from libutil to libc. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
chio(1) now has the ability to specify elements by volume tag instead
|
|
of by their physical location as well as the ability to return an
|
|
element to its previous location. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sed(1) now takes a -E option for extended regular expression
|
|
support. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ln(1) now takes an -i option to request user confirmation before
|
|
overwriting an existing file. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ln(1) now takes a -h option to avoid following a target that is a
|
|
link, with a -n option for compatability with other implementations. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Version numbers of installed packages have a new (backward-compatible)
|
|
syntax, which supports the "PORTREVISION" and "PORTEPOCH" variables in
|
|
ports collection makefiles. These changes help keep track of changes
|
|
in the ports collection entries such as security patches or
|
|
FreeBSD-specific updates, which aren't reflected in the original,
|
|
third-party software distributions. pkg_version(1) can now compare
|
|
these new-style version numbers. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
CVS has been updated to 1.11. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
libpcap has been updated to 0.6.2.
|
|
|
|
tcpdump has been updated to 3.6.2.
|
|
|
|
User-land ppp(8) has received a number of updates and bug fixes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
To improve performance and disk utilization, the "ports skeletons" in
|
|
the FreeBSD Ports Collection have been restructured. Installed ports
|
|
and packages should not be affected. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
make(1) has gained the :C/// (regexp substitution), :L (lowercase),
|
|
and :U (uppercase) variable modifiers. These were added to reduce the
|
|
differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD/NetBSD make programs. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Bugs in make(1), among which include broken null suffix behavior, bad
|
|
assumptions about current directory permissions, and potential buffer
|
|
overflows, have been fixed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
fsck wrappers have been imported; this feature provides infrastructure
|
|
for fsck(8) to work on different types of filesystems (analogous to
|
|
mount(8) and mount_*(8)).
|
|
|
|
The behavior of fsck(8) when dealing with various passes (a la
|
|
/etc/fstab) has been modified to accomodate multiple-disk filesystems.
|
|
|
|
ncurses has been updated to ncurses-5.2-20010512.
|
|
|
|
gperf has been updated to 2.7.2. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
style.perl.7, a style guide for Perl code in the FreeBSD base system,
|
|
has been added.
|
|
|
|
The ISC library from the BIND distribution is now built as
|
|
libisc. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The "in use" percentage metric displayed by netstat(1) now really
|
|
reflects the percentage of network mbufs used. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
netstat(1) now has a -W flag that tells it not to truncate addresses,
|
|
even if they're too long for the column they're printed in. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
netstat(1) now keeps track of input and output packets on a
|
|
per-address basis for each interface. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sockstat(1) now has -c and -l flags for listing connected and
|
|
listening sockets, respectively. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
mergemaster(8) has gained some new features, has been cleaned up
|
|
somewhat, and is now more cross-platform friendly.
|
|
|
|
mergemaster(8) now sources an /etc/mergemaster.rc file and also
|
|
prompts the user to run recommended commands (such as "newaliases") as
|
|
needed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The compiler chain now uses the FSF-supplied C/C++ runtime
|
|
initialization code. This change brings about better compatibility
|
|
with code generated from the various egcs and gcc ports, as well as
|
|
the stock public FSF source. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The threads library has gained some signal handling changes, bug
|
|
fixes, and performance enhancements (including zero system call thread
|
|
switching). gdb(1) thread support has been updated to match these
|
|
changes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
chflags(1) has moved from /usr/bin to /bin.
|
|
|
|
Use of the CSMG_* macros no longer require inclusion of <sys/param.h>.

|
|
|
IP Filter is now supported by the rc.conf(5) boot-time configuration
|
|
and initialization. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The lastlogin(1) utility, which prints the last login time of each
|
|
user, has been imported from NetBSD. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
newfs(8) now implements write combining, which can make creation of
|
|
new filesystems up to seven times faster. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
newfs(8) now takes a -U option to enable softupdates on a new filesystem.
|
|
|
|
The default number of cylinders per group in newfs(8) is now 22, up from 16.
|
|
|
|
A number of buffer overflows in config(8) have been fixed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pwd(1) can now double as realpath(1), a program to resolve pathnames
|
|
to their underlying physical paths. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
file(1) has been contribify-ed, and updated to version 3.35.
|
|
|
|
stty(1) now has support for an "erase2" control character, so that
|
|
both "delete" and "backspace" can be used to erase characters. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The ibcs2(8), linux(8), osf1(8), and svr4(8) scripts, whose sole
|
|
purpose was to load emulation kernel modules, have been removed. The
|
|
kernel module system will automatically load them as needed to fulfill
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
top(1) will now use the full width of its tty.
|
|
|
|
groff(1) and its related utilities have been updated to FSF version
|
|
1.17. This import brings in a new mdoc(7) macro package, which
|
|
removes many of the limitations of its predecessor. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
growfs(8), a utility for growing FFS filesystems, has been added.
|
|
ffsinfo(8), a utility for dump all the meta-information of an existing
|
|
filesystem, has also been added.
|
|
|
|
indent(1) has gained some new formatting options. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sysinstall now uses some more intuitive defaults thanks to some new
|
|
dialog support functions. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The default root partition in sysinstall is now 100MB on the i386 and
|
|
120MB on the alpha.
|
|
|
|
gcc has been updated to 2.95.3. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Shortly after the receipt of a SIGINFO signal (normally control-T from
|
|
the controlling tty), fsck_ffs will now output a line indicating the
|
|
current phase number and progress information relevant to the current
|
|
phase. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
fsck(8) and fsck_ffs(8) now support background filesystem checks to
|
|
mounted FFS filesystems with the -B option (softupdates must be
|
|
enabled on these filesystems). The -F flag now determines whether a
|
|
specified filesystem needs foreground checking.
|
|
|
|
fsck(8) now has support for foreground (-F) and background (-B)
|
|
checks. Traditionally, fsck(8) is invoked before the filesystems are
|
|
mounted and all checks are done to completion at that time. If
|
|
background checking is available, fsck(8) is invoked twice. It is
|
|
first invoked at the traditional time, before the filesystems are
|
|
mounted, with the -F flag to do checking on all the filesystems that
|
|
cannot do background checking. It is then invoked a second time,
|
|
after the system has completed going multiuser, with the -B flag to do
|
|
checking on all the filesystems that can do background checking.
|
|
Unlike the foreground checking, the background checking is started
|
|
asynchonously so that other system activity can proceed even on the
|
|
filesystems that are being checked.
|
|
|
|
Catching up with most other network utilities in the base system,
|
|
lpr(1), lpd(8), syslogd(8), and logger(1) are now all IPv6-capable.
|
|
[MERGED]
|
|
|
|
libdisk can now do install-time configuration of the i386 boot0 boot
|
|
loader. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
rm(1) -v now displays the entire pathname of a file being
|
|
removed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
lpr(1), lpq(1), and lpd(8) have received a few minor
|
|
enhancements. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_update(1), a utility to update installed packages and update their
|
|
dependencies, has been added. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_info(1) now supports globbing against names of installed packages.
|
|
The -G option disables this behavior, and the -x option causes regular
|
|
expression matching instead of shell globbing. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
If the first argument fo ancontrol(8) or wicontrol(8) doesn't start
|
|
with a "-", it is assumed to be an interface.
|
|
|
|
rdist(1) has been retired.
|
|
|
|
Kerberos IV has been updated to 1.0.5. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Heimdal has been updated to 0.3e. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ppp(8) has gained the tcpmssfixup option, which adjusts outgoing TCP
|
|
SYN packets so that the maximum receive segment size is no larger than
|
|
allowed by the interface MTU.
|
|
|
|
libcrypt and libdescrypt have been unified to provide a configurable
|
|
password authentication hash library. Both the md5 and des hash methods
|
|
are provided unless the des hash is specifically compiled out.
|
|
|
|
passwd(1) and pw(8) now select the passwd hash algorithm at run time. See
|
|
the "passwd_format" attribute in /etc/login.conf.
|
|
|
|
In preparation for meeting SUSv2/POSIX <sys/select.h> requirements,
|
|
'struct selinfo' and related functions have been moved to
|
|
<sys/selinfo.h>.
|
|
|
|
gcc now uses a unified libgcc rather than a separate one for threaded
|
|
and non-threaded programs. /usr/lib/libgcc_r.a can be removed. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
syslogd(8) now supports a "LOG_CONSOLE" facility (disabled by
|
|
default), which can be used to log /dev/console output. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
rpcgen now uses /usr/bin/cpp (as on NetBSD), not /usr/libexec/cpp.
|
|
|
|
Boot-time syscons configuration was moved to a machine-independent
|
|
rc.syscons. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
burncd(8) now supports a -m option for multisession mode (the default
|
|
behavior now is to close disks as single-session). A -l option to
|
|
take a list of image files from a filename was also added; '-' can be
|
|
used as a filename for stdin. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
dmesg(8) now has a -a option to show the entire message buffer,
|
|
including syslog records and /dev/console output. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, the ConnectionsPerPeriod parameter has been
|
|
deprecated in favor of MaxStartups. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
cdcontrol(1) now uses the CDROM environment variable to pick a default
|
|
device. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sysctl(8) now supports a -N option to print out variable names only.
|
|
|
|
All packages and ports now contain an "origin" directive, which makes
|
|
it easier for programs like pkg_version(1) to determine the directory
|
|
from which a package was built. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
sysinstall(8) now lives in /usr/sbin, which simplifies the installation
|
|
process. The sysinstall(8) manpage is also installed in a more
|
|
consistent fashion now.
|
|
|
|
config(8) is now better about converting various warnings that should
|
|
have been errors into actual fatal errors with an exit code. This
|
|
ensures that that 'make buildkernel' doesn't quietly ignore them and
|
|
build a bogus kernel without a human to read the errors. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_create(1) and pkg_add(1) can now work with packages that have
|
|
been compressed using bzip2(1). pkg_add(1) will use the
|
|
PACKAGEROOT environment variable to determine a mirror site for new
|
|
packages. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_info(1) can now accept a -g flag for verifying an installed
|
|
package against its recorded checksums (to see if it's been modified
|
|
post-installation). Naturally, this mechanism is only as secure as
|
|
the contents of /var/db/pkg if it's to be used for auditing
|
|
purposes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_version(1) now has a version number comparison routine that
|
|
corresponds to the Porters Handbook. It also has a -t option for
|
|
testing address comparisons. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
libc is now thread-safe by default; libc_r contains only thread functions.
|
|
|
|
find(1) now takes the -empty flag, which returns true if a file or
|
|
directory is empty. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
find(1) now takes the -iname and -ipath primaries for case-insensitive
|
|
matches, and the -regexp and -iregexp primaries for regular-expression
|
|
matches. The -E flag now enables extended regular
|
|
expressions. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
find(1) now has the -anewer, -cnewer, -mnewer, -okdir, and
|
|
-newer[acm][acmt] primaries for comparisons of file timestamps. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
tftpd(8) now takes the -c and -C options, which allow the server to
|
|
chroot(2) based on the IP address of the connecting client. tftp(1)
|
|
and tftpd(8) can now transfer files larger than 65535 blocks. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
vidcontrol(1) now accepts a -g parameter to select custom text
|
|
geometry in the VESA_800x600 raster text mode. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ldconfig(8) now checks directory ownerships and permissions for
|
|
greater security; these checks can be disabled with the -i
|
|
flag. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The rfork_thread(3) library call has been added as a helper function
|
|
to rfork(2). Using this function should avoid the need to implement
|
|
complex stack swap code. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
Significant additions have been made to internationalization support;
|
|
FreeBSD now has complete locale support for the LC_MONETARY,
|
|
LC_NUMERIC, and LC_MESSAGES categories. A number of applications have
|
|
been updated to take advantage of this support.
|
|
|
|
A compat4x distribution has been added for compatibility with FreeBSD
|
|
4-STABLE.
|
|
|
|
The compat3x distribution has been updated to include libraries
|
|
present in FreeBSD 3.5.1-RELEASE. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
savecore(8) now supports a -k option to prevent clearing a crash dump
|
|
after saving it. It also attempts to avoid writing large stretches of
|
|
zeros to crash dump files to save space and time. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
When requested to delete multiple packages, pkg_delete(1) will now
|
|
attempt to remove them in dependency order rather than the order
|
|
specified on the command line. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_delete(1) now can perform glob/regexp matching of package names.
|
|
In addition, it supports the -a option for removing all packages and
|
|
the -i option for rm(1)-style interactive confirmation. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
tar(1) now supports the TAR_RSH variable, principally to enable the
|
|
use of ssh(1) as a transport. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
disklabel(8) now supports partition sizes expressed in kilobytes,
|
|
megabytes, or gigabytes, in addition to sectors. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The pseudo-random number generator implemented by rand(3) has been
|
|
improved to provide less biased results.
|
|
|
|
login(1) now exports environment variables set by PAM
|
|
modules. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
PAM support has been added for account management and sessions.
|
|
|
|
Linux PAM has been updated to 0.75.
|
|
|
|
The following PAM modules have been added: pam_krb5, pam_nologin,
|
|
pam_rootok, pam_wheel.
|
|
|
|
wall(1) now supports a -g flag to write a message to all users of a
|
|
given group.
|
|
|
|
The new CPUTYPE make.conf variable controls the compilation of
|
|
processor-specific optimizations in various pieces of code such as
|
|
OpenSSL. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
The default value for the CVS_RSH variable (used by cvs(1)) is now
|
|
ssh, rather than rsh. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
bc has been updated from 1.04 to 1.06. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
units(1) has received some updates and bugfixes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
As part of an ongoing process, many manual pages were improved, both
|
|
in terms of their formatting markup and in their content. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
pkg_create(1) now records dependencies in dependency order rather than
|
|
in the order specified on the command line. This improves the
|
|
functioning of "pkg_add -r". [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
"lprm -" now works for remote printer queues. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
ftpd(8) now supports a -r flag for read-only mode and a -E flag to

|
|
-U option to restore the old behavior. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
atacontrol(8) has been added to control various aspects of the ata(4)
|
|
driver.

|
GNATS has been updated to 3.113. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
BSDPAN, a collection of modules that provides tighter integration of
|
|
Perl into the FreeBSD Ports Collection, has been added.
|
|
|
|
vidcontrol(1) now allows the user to omit the font size specification
|
|
when loading a font, and has some better error-handling.
|

|
|
It is designed to provide a means of recovering at least some data
|
|
from bad media, and to obviate for a complex invocation of dd(1).
|
|
|
|

2. Supported Configurations
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, MCA and PCI
|
|
bus based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
|
|
386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
|
|
configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
|
|
also provided.
|
|
|
|
What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
|
|
FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
|
|
received confirmation of this.

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.1. FTP/Mail
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
|
`ftp.FreeBSD.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
|
|
|
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
|
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
|
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
|
Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
|
|
become an official mirror site.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
|
|
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
|
`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
|
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
|
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
|
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
|
LAST resort!
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2. CDROM
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE and 3.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
|
|
|
|
BSDi / Walnut Creek CDROM
|
|
4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
|
|
Concord CA 94520
|
|
USA
|
|
+1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
|
|
|
|
Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
|
|
Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
|
|
|
|
Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
|
|
FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
|
|
FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
|
|
separate). With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
|
|
they are released. Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
|
|
shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
|
|
obligation.
|
|
|
|
Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
|
|
and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
|
|
Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
|
|
States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
|
|
|
|
Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
|
|
unconditional return policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
|
|
it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending
|
|
of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular
|
|
ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
|
|
|
|
o Using sources, via /usr/src
|
|
o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
|
|
|
|
Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably
|
|
before beginning an upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
|
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
|
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
|
|
|
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
|
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
|
|
script at http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
|
|
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
|
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
|
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
|
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
|
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
|
watch out for.
|
|
|
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
|
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
|
|
|
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
|
|
|
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
|
|
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
|
|
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
|
|
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
|
|
the problem might have already been fixed since.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
|
|
|
|
freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're tracking the -current development efforts, you should
|
|
definitely join the -current mailing list, in order to keep abreast
|
|
of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you
|
|
use and maintain the system:
|
|
|
|
freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
|
|
extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
|
|
enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To
|
|
contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
|
|
mail to:
|
|
|
|
freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
|
|
amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
|
|
are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
|
|
may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
|
|
|
|
freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
|
|
to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
|
|
`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This
|
|
will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
|
|
archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
|
|
special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
|
|
and ask about them!
