This patch includes various updates to the FAQ: * Minor grammar nits * Updated FAQ to show that snapshots are made for both -CURRENT and -STABLE * 3-STABLE snapshots are no longer being produced (as far as I can tell) * There are still a couple of places that say "4.0 will be released in...". Fix those. * 2.x releases are no longer available on ftp.FreeBSD.org * Snapshots are made daily; not every once in a while * Change some entries from "FreeBSD 2.2.x" to simply "FreeBSD" (ie, "FreeBSD 2.2.x is based on 4.4BSD-Lite -> FreeBSD is based on...) * For those who want to mirror the website, we now provide an example supfile. Tell them to use this. * Users can no longer use rsync to monitor the website [at least the webpage the FAQ points to no longer includes it as an option] * Ask potential translators to contact freebsd-doc before beginning, just in case there is already an existing trans. team * Add notices that bad144 has been nuked in FreeBSD 4.0 * Remove the "if I have > 16MB of RAM, will there be performance issues?" entry, since a) this question is incredibly and old and b) the majority of machines nowadays have > 16MB of RAM * Update a couple of places that told the user to edit /etc/sysconfig * Tell FBSD 3.1 and later users to put shell scripts in /usr/local/etc instead of editing /rc/local * Some kernel options have changed between 3.X and 4.0; make a note of this * SYSV stuff is now in GENERIC, note this. * Tell user to look in /sys/i386/conf/LINT for SMP options instead of just saying "Yes we support it." * Change the "Windows95 + FreeBSD connect to the Internet?" question, since the best way to do this is to run ppp -nat, instead of kernel ppp + natd. * Remove 8 or 10 lines of gratuitous(sp?) whitespace * Put a note at the beginning of the a.out/ELF question that FreeBSD uses ELF now; before, you had to scroll down a couple of pages before you saw this. There is still a lot of 2.x cruft in the FAQ, but this should clear up at least some of it. How-To-Repeat: n/a
