1247280SdteskeThe following options may be set from this screen. 2247280Sdteske 3247280SdteskeNFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port 4247280Sdteske 5247280Sdteske This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which 6247280Sdteske will not talk NFS over "non privileged" ports. 7247280Sdteske 8247280Sdteske 9247280SdteskeNFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or Ethernet card 10247280Sdteske 11247280Sdteske Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an Ethernet card 12247280Sdteske with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance 13247280Sdteske workstation. This will throttle the workstation back to prevent 14247280Sdteske the PC from becoming swamped with data. 15247280Sdteske 16247280Sdteske 17247280SdteskeNFS TCP: Use TCP for the NFS mount 18247280Sdteske 19247280Sdteske This option can be used if your NFS server supports TCP 20247280Sdteske connections; not all do! This may be useful if your NFS server 21247280Sdteske is at a remote site in which case it may offer some additional 22247280Sdteske stability. 23247280Sdteske 24247280Sdteske 25247280SdteskeNFS version 3: Use NFS version 3 26247280Sdteske 27247280Sdteske This option forces the use of NFS version 3 and is on by default. 28247280Sdteske If your NFS server only supports NFS version 2, disable this option. 29247280Sdteske 30247280Sdteske 31247280SdteskeDebugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag 32247280Sdteske 33247280Sdteske This turns on a lot of extra noise in between dialogs (unless 34247280Sdteske debugFile has been set, sending the data to a logfile instead). 35247280Sdteske Optionally, if debugFile begins with a plus sign (`+'), output will 36247280Sdteske occur both on standard output and to debugFile (minus leading plus). 37247280Sdteske If your installation should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this 38247280Sdteske flag on when attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a 39247280Sdteske lot of extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful 40247280Sdteske to the developers in tracking such problems down! 41247280Sdteske 42247280Sdteske 43250323SdteskeYes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs 44250323Sdteske 45250323Sdteske This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially 46250323Sdteske decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundary" conditions that 47250323Sdteske might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative 48250323Sdteske of other problems. It's most useful to those who are doing unattended 49250323Sdteske installs. 50250323Sdteske 51250323Sdteske 52247280SdteskeDHCP: Enable DHCP configuration of interfaces 53247280Sdteske 54247280Sdteske This option specifies whether DHCP configuration of interfaces 55247280Sdteske may be attempted. The default setting is to interactively ask 56247280Sdteske the user. 57247280Sdteske 58247280Sdteske 59247280SdteskeIPv6: Enable IPv6 router solicitation configuration 60247280Sdteske 61247280Sdteske This option specifies whether automatic configuration of IPv6 62247280Sdteske interfaces may be attempted. This uses the router solicitation 63247280Sdteske method of automatic configuration. The default setting is to 64247280Sdteske interactively ask the user. 65247280Sdteske 66247280Sdteske 67247280SdteskeFTP username: Specify username and password instead of anonymous. 68247280Sdteske 69247280Sdteske By default, the installation attempts to log in as the 70247280Sdteske anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else, 71247280Sdteske specify the username and password with this option. 72247280Sdteske 73247280Sdteske 74247280SdteskeEditor: Specify which screen editor to use. 75247280Sdteske 76247280Sdteske At various points during the installation it may be necessary 77247280Sdteske to customize some text file, at which point the user will be 78247280Sdteske thrown unceremoniously into a screen editor. A relatively 79247280Sdteske simplistic editor which shows its command set on-screen is 80247280Sdteske selected by default, but UNIX purists may wish to change this 81247280Sdteske setting to `/usr/bin/vi'. 82247280Sdteske 83247280Sdteske 84247280SdteskeRelease Name: Which release to attempt to load from installation media. 85247280Sdteske 86247280Sdteske You should only change this option if you're really sure you know 87247280Sdteske what you are doing! This will change the release name used by 88247280Sdteske bsdconfig when fetching components of any distributions, and 89247280Sdteske is a useful way of using a more recent installation boot floppy 90247280Sdteske with an older release (say, on CDROM). 91247280Sdteske 92247280Sdteske 93247280SdteskeMedia Type: Which media type is being used. 94247280Sdteske 95247280Sdteske This is mostly informational and indicates which media type (if any) 96247280Sdteske was last selected in the Media menu. It's also a convenient short-cut 97247280Sdteske to the media menu itself. 98247280Sdteske 99247280Sdteske 100250323SdteskePackage Temp: Where package temporary files should go 101250323Sdteske 102250323Sdteske Some packages, like emacs, can use a LOT of temporary space - up to 103250323Sdteske 20 or 30MB. If you are going to configure a small / directory and no 104250323Sdteske separate /var (and hence a small /var/tmp), then you may wish to set 105250323Sdteske this to point at another location (say, /usr/tmp). 106250323Sdteske 107250323Sdteske 108247280SdteskeRe-scan Devices: 109247280Sdteske 110247280Sdteske Reprobe the system for devices. 111247280Sdteske 112247280Sdteske 113247280SdteskeUse Defaults: Use default values. 114247280Sdteske 115247280Sdteske Reset all options back to their default values. 116
