# 241783 20-Oct-2012 bapt

pkg_add is no more the default tool, make motd recommand using pkg install instead of pkg_add


# 225189 26-Aug-2011 nwhitehorn

Fix path to the handbook and provide a hint about how to install it if it
was not added at installation time.

Thanks to sysinstall for its 15 years of service. And now to sleep,
perchance to dream...


# 180208 03-Jul-2008 peter

Set magic fbsd:nokeywords property that allows files to bypass
keyword expansion. (file-specific replacement for CVSROOT/exclude)


# 117187 03-Jul-2003 jkoshy

s/man page/manual page/, to make the default announcement
hopefully more comprehensible to a non-geek.


# 88140 18-Dec-2001 ru

Whitespace police.


# 80444 27-Jul-2001 dd

Be consistent about how we quote commands that could be entered by the
user.


# 74656 22-Mar-2001 wosch

Update search URL:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/search.html -> http://www.FreeBSD.org/search/


# 74638 22-Mar-2001 jkh

Use orthogonal www.FreeBSD.org syntax.

Whined about by: rwatson


# 71778 29-Jan-2001 sheldonh

Replace the full path to sysinstall with a standard manual page
reference. The sysinstall binary is now in root's standard PATH,
so there's no need for explicit pathing, and there's some value
in a manual page reference.


# 71184 17-Jan-2001 jhb

Tell users to run /usr/sbin/sysinstall now instead of /stand/sysinstall.

# 54635 15-Dec-1999 sheldonh

Add missing trailing slash to URL.


# 54527 12-Dec-1999 dcs

Exercise sufficient editorial license and further shorten motd.

Stolen from: jkh


# 54450 11-Dec-1999 dcs

Trim to 24 lines. Yeah, I know, looks ugly.


# 54449 11-Dec-1999 dcs

Add reference to hier(7). This gets motd just over 25 lines. I'm
don't like it, but I think this can greatly ease the learning curve
of Linux-immigrants.

MF22: Bring forward the far more explanatory motd we had in 2.2.8

Suggested by: Nathan Ahlstrom <nrahlstr@winternet.com>


# 27875 04-Aug-1997 msmith

Reference the correct distribution when mentioning the FAQ and handbook.


# 15462 30-Apr-1996 jkh

Highly cosmetic tweaks.


# 15404 26-Apr-1996 jkh

Make default /etc/motd (which I will include in the installation) a little
more helpful and explanatory to new users. Experienced users always blow
away their default motd's on the first day anyway. :-)


# 155 19-Jul-1993 rgrimes

Changed banner from 386BSD to FreeBSD


# 38 20-Jun-1993 rgrimes

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r37,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 37 20-Jun-1993 rgrimes

Initial import of 386BSD 0.1 othersrc/etc
