| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''BlueTooth Manager GUI'''
| |
| − | This project would be to develop a QT4 based GUI, which acts as a front-end to the FreeBSD BlueTooth configurations, such as /etc/bluetooth/hcsecd.conf

| − | ===PC-BSD 9.0 Snapshots===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Every few weeks or so, we are releasing updated "snapshots" of PC-BSD 9, based upon the latest FreeBSD 9-CURRENT. The technical minded, or simply the brave are welcome to download and test these releases.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Getting the Snapshots====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The current snapshots are available for download from the PC-BSD FTP server:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/snapshots ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/snapshots]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The snapshots are available in several different formats, in order to make it easier to find a fit for you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''DVD''' - This is the preferred method of installation. This file contains PC-BSD / FreeBSD and all the various window-managers for 9, which you can pick from during the install.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''CD''' - This is a slimmed down release which includes PC-BSD and the LXDE window manager ONLY. Post-installation it is possible to install other WM's, but they are not included on the CD media and must be installed via the net.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''DVDLIVE''' - This is a LIVE version of PC-BSD which includes KDE4
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Bootonly''' - This is a boot-only version of the PC-BSD installation, which will allow installing via the internet or local network.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''USBFULL''' - This is the USB version of the full DVD image.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''USBLITE''' - This is the USB version of the CD image.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''USBLIVE''' - This is the USB version of the DVD-Live image.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''USB Bootonly''' - This is the USB version of the Bootonly CD image.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Network / Internet installation====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Snapshots are currently only available from the PC-BSD FTP server, and not our mirrors. If you wish to do a network installation of a snapshot, you will need to specify the URL manually, such as:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Server: ftp.pcbsd.org
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Directory: /pub/snapshots/9-CURRENT-20110414/amd64/netinstall
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (Replace the 20110414 with the current snapshot date, and amd64 with i386 if necessary)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Reporting Bugs====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is very important to report bugs found in the snapshots, so that there is time to fix them before we get closer to BETA/RC status. Equally important is reporting the bugs to the correct location. The first thing to determine is what type of bug is this? Is it a bug with something specific in FreeBSD? Is this a window-manager bug? Is this a bug in PC-BSD related tools or configuration?
