<h2>Introduction</h2> |
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
|
<p style="text-indent: 3em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), and soon amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T) architectures. It was originally based on <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind.</p> |

<h3>MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE</h3> |
| 72 |
+ |
|
| 73 |
+ |
<p> |
| 74 |
+ |
<strong>August 6, 2007</strong> |
| 75 |
+ |
MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE is now available. It includes several software packages |
| 76 |
+ |
such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch) and others in |
| 77 |
+ |
the base system. Disc 1 ISO includes the entire Operating System and X11 (xorg 6.9) |
| 78 |
+ |
packages. Disc 2 ISO includes a selection of additional packages such as |
| 79 |
+ |
GNUstep, bash 3, zsh, and cups-base. There are additional packages on our FTP |
| 80 |
+ |
server. More will be added in a few days. Only disc 1 is required for installation. |
| 81 |
+ |
This release is intended for enthusiests, developers and people interested in |
| 82 |
+ |
new operating systems that can handle bugs. The core OS is stable, but many |
| 83 |
+ |
elements such as ports are in flux. |

<h4>0.1-RELEASE Errata</h4> |
| 92 |
+ |
<pre> |
| 93 |
+ |
Installation issues |
| 94 |
+ |
|
| 95 |
+ |
projectcenter.app package is missing dependancies on disc2. |
| 96 |
+ |
mutt package is missing urlview dependancy on disc2. |
| 97 |
+ |
|
| 98 |
+ |
GNUstep package includes gdnc which is missing libgcc_s.so.1. |
| 99 |
+ |
|
| 100 |
+ |
bash 3 and gmake missing libintl.so.6. This can be fixed by uninstalling gettext |
| 101 |
+ |
and building it from the port. A new package was placed on the FTP server. |
| 102 |
+ |
|
| 103 |
+ |
System issues |
| 104 |
+ |
|
| 105 |
+ |
CVSUP example for updating src fetches CURRENT instead of RELENG_0_1 |
| 106 |
+ |
|
| 107 |
+ |
The new mports system was not included in the RELEASE. Many ports work in |
| 108 |
+ |
mports that do not work in the old system. It is suggested that you update |
| 109 |
+ |
your source using RELENG_0_1 and download the latest mports using CVS or CVSup. |
| 110 |
+ |
|
| 111 |
+ |
Using Virtual PC for Windows: |
| 112 |
+ |
If you install MidnightBSD in VPC, you will need to set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" |
| 113 |
+ |
in /boot/device.hints This will help with the "calcru: negative runtime of" issue. |
| 114 |
+ |
|
| 115 |
+ |
August 11, 2007: |
| 116 |
+ |
The pkg_install tools found in src/usr.sbin/pkg_install were not updated for |
| 117 |
+ |
mports. This has been corrected. You should be able to cvs update that directory |
| 118 |
+ |
and run make install and get the new versions of pkg_add, pkg_delete, and so on. |
