     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     This document gives a brief introduction to FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. It
     includes some information on how to obtain FreeBSD, a listing of various
     ways to contact the FreeBSD Project, and pointers to some other sources
     of information.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                 1 Introduction

   This distribution is a snapshot of FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT, the latest point
   along the 5-CURRENT branch.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1 About FreeBSD

   FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for Intel, AMD, Cyrix
   or NexGen ``x86'' based PC hardware, Compaq (formerly DEC) Alpha
   computers, and UltraSPARC machines. Versions for the IA64 and PowerPC
   architectures are currently under development as well. FreeBSD works with
   a wide variety of peripherals and configurations and can be used for
   everything from software development to games to Internet Service
   Provision.

   This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run such a system,
   including full source code for the kernel and all utilities in the base
   distribution. With the source distribution installed, you can literally
   recompile the entire system from scratch with one command, making it ideal
   for students, researchers, or users who simply want to see how it all
   works.

   A large collection of third-party ported software (the ``Ports
   Collection'') is also provided to make it easy to obtain and install all
   your favorite traditional UNIX utilities for FreeBSD. Each ``port''
   consists of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a
   piece of software, with a single command. Over 6,600 ports, from editors
   to programming languages to graphical applications, make FreeBSD a
   powerful and comprehensive operating environment that extends far beyond
   what's provided by many commercial versions of UNIX. Most ports are also
   available as pre-compiled ``packages'', which can be quickly installed
   from the installation program.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.2 Target Audience

   This snapshot is aimed primarily at early adopters and various other users
   who want to get involved with the ongoing development of FreeBSD. While
   the FreeBSD development team tries its best to ensure that each snapshot
   works as advertised, 5-CURRENT is very much a work-in-progress.

   The basic requirements for using this snapshot are technical proficiency
   with FreeBSD and an understanding of the ongoing development process of
   FreeBSD 5-CURRENT (as discussed on the FreeBSD-current mailing list
   <[e-mail]>).

   For those more interested in doing business with FreeBSD than in
   experimenting with new FreeBSD technology, formal releases (such as
   4.5-RELEASE) are frequently more appropriate. Releases undergo a period of
   testing and quality assurance checking to ensure high reliability and
   dependability.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

                              2 Obtaining FreeBSD

   FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This section focuses on
   those ways that are primarily useful for obtaining a complete FreeBSD
   distribution, rather than updating an existing installation.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1 CDROM and DVD

   FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several
   publishers. This is frequently the most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD
   for new installations, as it provides a convenient way to quickly
   reinstall the system if necessary. Some distributions include some of the
   optional, precompiled ``packages'' from the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

   A list of the CDROM and DVD publishers known to the project are listed in
   the ``Obtaining FreeBSD'' appendix to the Handbook.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2 FTP

   You can use FTP to retrieve FreeBSD and any or all of its optional
   packages from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/, which is the official FreeBSD
   release site, or any of its ``mirrors''.

   Lists of locations that mirror FreeBSD can be found in the FTP Sites
   section of the Handbook, or on the http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/ Web
   pages. Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which to download
   the distribution is highly recommended.

   Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact
   <[e-mail]> for more details on becoming an official
   mirror site. You can also find useful information for mirror sites at the
   Mirroring FreeBSD article.

   Mirrors generally contain the floppy disk images necessary to begin an
   installation, as well as the distribution files needed for the install
   process itself. Many mirrors also contain the ISO images necessary to
   create a CDROM of a FreeBSD release.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

                        3 Contacting the FreeBSD Project

3.1 Email and Mailing Lists

   For any questions or general technical support issues, please send mail to
   the FreeBSD general questions mailing list
   <[e-mail]>.

   If you're tracking the 5-CURRENT development efforts, you must join the
   FreeBSD-current mailing list <[e-mail]>, in order to
   keep abreast of recent developments and changes that may affect the way
   you use and maintain the system.

   Being a largely-volunteer effort, the FreeBSD Project is always happy to
   have extra hands willing to help--there are already far more desired
   enhancements than there is time to implement them. To contact the
   developers on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send mail
   to the FreeBSD technical discussions mailing list
   <[e-mail]>.

   Please note that these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
   traffic. If you have slow or expensive mail access, or are only interested
   in keeping up with major FreeBSD events, you may find it preferable to
   subscribe instead to the FreeBSD announcements mailing list
   <[e-mail]>.

   All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing to do so.
   Send mail to <[e-mail]> 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; more information can be obtained either through
   majordomo or the mailing lists section of the FreeBSD Web site.

     Important: Do not send email to the lists asking to be subscribed. Use
     the <[e-mail]> address instead.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 Submitting Problem Reports

   Suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
   valued--please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find. Bug
   reports with attached fixes are of course even more welcome.

   The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with Internet
   mail connectivity is to use the send-pr(1) command or use the Web form at
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html. ``Problem Reports'' (PRs) submitted
   in this way will be filed and their progress tracked; the FreeBSD
   developers will do their best to respond to all reported bugs as soon as
   possible. A list of all active PRs is available on the FreeBSD Web site;
   this list is useful to see what potential problems other users have
   encountered.

   Note that send-pr(1) itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
   even onto a non-FreeBSD system. Using this interface is highly preferred.
   If, for some reason, you are unable to use send-pr(1) to submit a bug
   report, you can try to send it to the FreeBSD problem reports mailing list
   <[e-mail]>.

   For more information, ``Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports'', available on
   the FreeBSD Web site, has a number of helpful hints on writing and
   submitting effective problem reports.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

                               4 Further Reading

   There are many sources of information about FreeBSD; some are included
   with this distribution, while others are available on-line or in print
   versions.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

4.1 Release Documentation

   A number of other files provide more specific information about this
   snapshot distribution. These files are provided in various formats. Most
   distributions will include both ASCII text (.TXT) and HTML (.HTM)
   renditions. Some distributions may also include other formats such as
   PostScript (.PS) or Portable Document Format (.PDF).

     * README.TXT: This file, which gives some general information about
       FreeBSD as well as some cursory notes about obtaining a distribution.

     * RELNOTES.TXT: The release notes, showing what's new and different in
       FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT compared to the previous release (FreeBSD
       4.0-RELEASE).

     * HARDWARE.TXT: The hardware compatibility list, showing devices with
       which FreeBSD has been tested and is known to work.

     * INSTALL.TXT: Installation instructions for installing FreeBSD from its
       distribution media.

     * ERRATA.TXT: Release errata. Late-breaking, post-release information
       can be found in this file, which is principally applicable to releases
       (as opposed to snapshots). It is important to consult this file before
       installing a release of FreeBSD, as it contains the latest information
       on problems which have been found and fixed since the release was
       created.

     Note: Several of these documents (in particular, RELNOTES.TXT,
     HARDWARE.TXT, and INSTALL.TXT) contain information that is specific to a
     particular hardware architecture. For example, the alpha release notes
     contain information not applicable to the i386, and vice versa. The
     architecture for which each document applies will be listed in that
     document's title.

   On platforms that support sysinstall(8) (currently the i386 and alpha),
   these documents are generally available via the Documentation menu during
   installation. Once the system is installed, you can revisit this menu by
   re-running the sysinstall(8) utility.

     Note: It is extremely important to read the errata for any given release
     before installing it, to learn about any ``late-breaking news'' or
     post-release problems. The errata file accompanying each release (most
     likely right next to this file) is already out of date by definition,
     but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be
     consulted as the ``current errata'' for this release. These other copies
     of the errata are located at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/ (as well
     as any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location).

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2 Manual Pages

   As with almost all UNIX-like operating systems, FreeBSD comes with a set
   of on-line manual pages, accessed through the man(1) command or through
   the hypertext manual pages gateway on the FreeBSD Web site. In general,
   the manual pages provide information on the different commands and APIs
   available to the FreeBSD user.

   In some cases, manual pages are written to given information on particular
   topics. Notable examples of such manual pages are tuning(7) (a guide to
   performance tuning), security(7) (an introduction to FreeBSD security),
   and style(9) (a style guide to kernel coding).

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3 Books and Articles

   Two highly-useful collections of FreeBSD-related information, maintained
   by the FreeBSD Project, are the FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ
   (Frequently Asked Questions document). On-line versions of the Handbook
   and FAQ are always available from the FreeBSD Documentation page or its
   mirrors. If you install the doc distribution set, you can use a Web
   browser to read the Handbook and FAQ locally.

   A number of on-line books and articles, also maintained by the FreeBSD
   Project, cover more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics. This material
   spans a wide range of topics, from effective use of the mailing lists, to
   dual-booting FreeBSD with other operating systems, to guidelines for new
   committers. Like the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are available from
   the FreeBSD Documentation Page or in the doc distribution set.

   A listing of other books and documents about FreeBSD can be found in the
   bibliography of the FreeBSD Handbook. Because of FreeBSD's strong UNIX
   heritage, many other articles and books written for UNIX systems are
   applicable as well, some of which are also listed in the bibliography.
