freebsd handbook

I had the FreeBSD 15 handbook printed from lulu.com. To the people that have worked on this very useful and valuable operation system, the documentation writers, the people answering questions in the FreeBSD forums and the wallpaper designers, thank you all.

I'm starting from scratch and following the docs and looking for clarification. I'm confused by the nVidia pci address changing when entered as a BusID. In the example, it shows this output of pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: [snip} vendor = 'Intel Corporation' [snip]...

Many posts provide examples of sample code for which I am very grateful, but one thing I often find myself doing is removing '#' from the start of the line when copying lines into some shell script. How do others deal with removing this character? Here is an example of what I mean:-...

A newbie here - not to tech, but to FBSD. AIX support was my job back in the day, and I just decided, out of the blue, to see what Unix has evolved into over the years. My daily driver has been Debian, with a Mac for routine Interneting. So, my first task was to RTFM. I downloaded the very...

I read the handbook a year ago and see that every page has been updated since then, although in some cases they are minor changes. There is some basic and important information that I should read every time it is updated, but reading the entire handbook again for those changes is tiresome. For...

Hey, quick note. If this isn’t the right place for it, feel free to delete or move it. I couldn’t find an easy way to read the FreeBSD Handbook through the terminal without installing something like w3m or lynx, so I made my own solution. It works as long as you have the FreeBSD documentation...

I'm following the excellent handbook's chapter on creating jails (“Chapter 17. Jails and Containers”), and in particular §17.5.2 “Creating a Thin Jail Using NullFS”. I'm following the instructions almost verbatim, except that I'm creating a 14.1-RELEASE template rather than a 13.2-RELEASE...

I just opened my spanking new FreeBSD 14 Handbook in 2 volumes and it's glorious: I haven't had the time to go printing a set since 11.2, which fit in a single book. It's annoying to have to try to read the thing online. It's great as a reference, but the paper version is much, much better...

Given the red alert under <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/#disks-growing>, I thought it sensible to boot in single user mode when aiming to grow the file system. I was repeatedly puzzled by failures – Operation not permitted Eventually I realised: Success, with service...

I reported to Bugzilla: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249976 The problem is this page: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization.html I think this whole chapter is too old. I think these should be changed 1. Mac OS® X -> macOS(wow, it's years ago since apple...

Hi, I'm new on BSD systems . I have one question, I read various threads but I didn't find an answer for me . I have intermediate knowledge of the Linux distributions and I would pass to BSD systems, in this case FreeBSD . I have a doubt about these two books : 1) FreeBSD Handbook of course :D...
