## Guide migration |
## The new NetBSD guide |
|
|
I'm currently trying to migrate the NetBSD guide to the wiki. The relevant |
The NetBSD guide, as well as its contents, is outdated. Of course there's |
files are these ones: |
current documentation as well in it, but many parts of it are outdated. |
|
The question is: What is the future of the NetBSD guide? |
* bluetooth |
|
* build |
Should we continue having something ordered by *book chapters*? Or should we |
* carp |
make it completely unordered with many howtos inside a wiki, which is also |
* ccd |
printable, but not in a useful order? |
* cgd |
|
* chap-exinst |
In my opinion, we should continue having a set of articles where the basic |
* chap-intro |
subsystems of NetBSD are explained, but in the wiki. It shouldn't be too |
* cons |
difficult to create a book from that if you want to. |
* dns |
From all these subsystems, imho, the following topics should be covered: |
* edit |
|
* fetch |
System basics: |
* index |
|
* inetd |
* Installation |
* inst-media |
* Security (CGD, PGP, veriexec, PAM) |
* inst |
* Disk handling (GPT, disklabel, MBR), creating filesystems, handling USB |
* kernel |
flashdrives, automounting, CDs |
* linux |
* RAIDs with raidframe |
* lvm |
* LVM |
* mail |
* Audio setup |
* misc |
* Keeping a NetBSD installation up-to-date |
* net-intro |
* The rc system, as compared to systemd and SysV |
* net-practice |
* Editing with vi |
* net-services |
* X setup, graphics drivers, console drivers |
* pam |
* Backups with dump/restore and other options |
* preface |
* Printing (with cups?) |
* print |
|
* rmmedia |
Networking: |
* tuning |
|
* upgrading |
* Basic network setup |
* x |
* inetd setup |
|
* Bluetooth |
Already done: |
* DNS server setup and related issues |
|
* Firewalling (describing *all* or linking guide of others) |
* audio |
|
* boot |
Building NetBSD: |
* raidframe |
|
* rc |
* Building the system with `build.sh` |
* updating |
* Configuring the kernel |
* veriexec |
* Fetching sources, staying -current |
|
|
I started working on it in `guide/`, though the original proposal |
Using extra packages: |
was to store it in `guide/netbsd`. However, whoever wants to change the |
|
directory can do so. |
* Emulating Linux |
|
* Using pkgsrc |
|
* Using binary packages, using pkgin |
|
* Installing a desktop environment |
|
* Things to remember (e.g., no mplayer) |
