* New FAQ: "How do I contribute to FreeBSD?" Answer with a pointer toMichael Lucas2002-03-081-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | the "How to Contribute" article. Strangely, this has never made it into the FAQ before... we have specific variants, i.e., "How to contribute kernel extensions", but nothing on generically contributing. This should probably supplant more specific FAQs. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=12396

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | abortive Release Engineering chapter of the Handbook. Now that this is done, and the whole annoying "releng article won't build on freefall" issue is solved, that chapter in the Handbook can be axed.

* Axe the question on cramming 1TB files onto a floppy disk.Michael Lucas2002-02-021-37/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) This is not asked frequently. This is not asked rarely. This has probably only been asked once, in some leap year during the thirteenth full moon. 2) "You need a dd that handles large files"; this is spectacularly unhelpful, as it says nothing about where to get such a dd, what's wrong with the existing dd, etc. 3) This information might be useful somewhere in the Handbook, if rewritten and generalized to explain why files can be larger than the disks that they live on: since this question is simply met with derision by many members of the -doc team, however, not to mention the FreeBSD community in general, we'll just deorbit it. 4) If we had a "Stupid FreeBSD Tricks" book, this would belong there.

* Gut question "How to I correct my keyboard map?"Michael Lucas2002-01-301-127/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Previous answer contained information that was specific to some unnamed release of FreeBSD (possibly 2.0.5, but not absolutely certain). New answer is a pointer to the Handbook, chapter and verse. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=12015

| | | | | | | | | | | Remove the "creating custom boot floppies" question from the "advanced topics" section. People generally want to know about that for installations, and there is a question about building your own release in the advanced section that will point the clueful in the correct direction.

* "Why does recompiling the latest ISC BIND fail?"Michael Lucas2002-01-281-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It doesn't. If this question had been phrased more usefully ("why does recompiling BIND 8 on FreeBSD 2.2.5 fail" or somesuch), I would say to keep this until we start over with the FreeBSD 5.x FAQ. Since this entry now contains absolutely no useful information, whatsoever, in any form, other than to let us know at some time in the past seven years some version of FreeBSD had a problem with some version of BIND, I'm taking it out behind the barn and disposing of it with extreme prejudice.
