Subject: RE: DOCBOOK: 400 setup and configs later...
I tried to install FreeBSD from a CD I got with a book about 6 months ago (PC Repair and Upgrade Bible), and I couldn't get the thing to ever install correctly. I don't know if one of the dependent packages was missing from the CD, but the majority of the things that should have installed from the CD (including emacs and all the text processing tools) wouldn't work correctly, so I gave up and installed Corel Linux. It doesn't come will ALL the tools, but it's pretty easy to get going and install things once you have it installed. Just my pennies... -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Baptiste Quenot [mailto:jb.quenot@smartcanal.com] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 7:33 AM To: Fredrik Eriksson Cc: docbook Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: 400 setup and configs later... I then switched to FreeBSD (which is a logic way after Slackware IMHO ;) and I was very impressed by the ports collection, which automagically fetches, compiles and installs your packages, along with their dependencies. Example: DocBook * Tell FreeBSD to install the DocBook DTD: cd /usr/ports/textproc/docbook/ make install * Tell FreeBSD to install DocBook's DSSSL stylesheets cd /usr/ports/textproc/dsssl-docbook-modular/ make install * Tell FreeBSD to install Jade cd /usr/ports/textproc/jade/ make install * Tell FreeBSD to install JadeTex (for PDF output) cd /usr/ports/print/jadetex/ make install Of course, TeTeX is a dependency of jadetex, and will therefore be installed automatically if it is missing. That's all! -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
