Introduction to the text version

This document is the complete text of the third edition of ``The Complete

FreeBSD'', including all updates as of 16 September 1999. It does not include

the man pages, which you can view more conveniently using the man program, but

they are included in the table of contents so that there are page numbers for

the cross references. Don't use these cross reference numbers: they are dif-

ferent from the page numbers in the printed book.

You can best view the text in an xterm window at least 85 characters wide and

exactly 56 lines high: this is the height of the "page". If you're using

Emacs, use a window 59 lines high. Some of the tables are wider than 85 char-

acters, and if you can display 100 characters width, it will work better.

``The Complete FreeBSD'' includes standard printing features such as:

o Text of varied size and font to indicate specific meanings. This ASCII ver-

sion can't reproduce them. This will make it very hard to read. See the dis-

cussion on page xxxii to see how much difference this makes.

o Illustrations such as screen images. I have had to completely omit them from

this version.

o Diagrams. Most of these are still present, but the low resolution of nroff

means that some would be distorted beyond recognition, for example the moni-

tor waveform diagrams in the chapter on X theory. There's no good way to do

this kind of diagram in ASCII, so I have omitted them. You may still be able

to recognize something in the diagram of the reference network on page 485,

so I have left it in there.

All in all, the result is very second-rate. So why even bother? There are a

couple of reasons:

1. You can use programs such as grep to search for specific texts.

2. It may be better than nothing if you're in trouble installing the system.

3. Since none of these problems exist with the printed book, it may make you

decide to buy the book :-)
