1The following options may be set from this screen. Use the SPACE key 2to toggle an option's value, Q to leave when you're done. 3 4NFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port 5 6 This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which 7 will not talk NFS over "non privileged" ports. 8 9 10NFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or Ethernet card 11 12 Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an Ethernet card 13 with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance 14 workstation. This will throttle the workstation back to prevent 15 the PC from becoming swamped with data. 16 17 18NFS TCP: Use TCP for the NFS mount 19 20 This option can be used if your NFS server supports TCP 21 connections; not all do! This may be useful if your NFS server 22 is at a remote site in which case it may offer some additional 23 stability. 24 25 26NFS version 3: Use NFS version 3 27 28 This option forces the use of NFS version 3 and is on by default. 29 If your NFS server only supports NFS version 2, disable this option. 30 31 32Debugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag 33 34 This turns on a lot of extra noise over on the second screen 35 (ALT-F2 to see it, ALT-F1 to switch back). If your installation 36 should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this flag on when 37 attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a lot of 38 extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful to 39 the developers in tracking such problems down! 40 41 42No Warnings: Disable some warnings 43 44 This flag tells sysinstall, and particularly the disk editing 45 routines, that you consider yourself to know what you are 46 doing and disables various warning. It is not recommended that 47 you enable this option. 48 49 50Yes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs 51 52 This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially 53 decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundary" conditions that 54 might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative 55 of other problems. It's most useful to those who are doing unattended 56 installs. 57 58 59DHCP: Enable DHCP configuration of interfaces 60 61 This option specifies whether DHCP configuration of interfaces 62 may be attempted. The default setting is to interactively ask 63 the user. 64 65 66IPv6: Enable IPv6 router solicitation configuration 67 68 This option specifies whether automatic configuration of IPv6 69 interfaces may be attempted. This uses the router solicitation 70 method of automatic configuration. The default setting is to 71 interactively ask the user. 72 73 74FTP username: Specify username and password instead of anonymous. 75 76 By default, the installation attempts to log in as the 77 anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else, 78 specify the username and password with this option. 79 80 81Editor: Specify which screen editor to use. 82 83 At various points during the installation it may be necessary 84 to customize some text file, at which point the user will be 85 thrown unceremoniously into a screen editor. A relatively 86 simplistic editor which shows its command set on-screen is 87 selected by default, but UNIX purists may wish to change this 88 setting to `/usr/bin/vi'. 89 90 91Extract Detail: How to show filenames on debug screen as they're extracted. 92 93 While a distribution is being extracted, the default detail level 94 of "high" will show the full file names as they're extracted. 95 If you want nothing to be printed on the debugging screen during 96 extraction, select "low". 97 98 99Release Name: Which release to attempt to load from installation media. 100 101 You should only change this option if you're really sure you know 102 what you are doing! This will change the release name used by 103 sysinstall when fetching components of any distributions, and 104 is a useful way of using a more recent installation boot floppy 105 with an older release (say, on CDROM). 106 107 108Install Root: Specify some directory other than / as your "root". 109 110 This should be left as / unless you have a really good reason to 111 change it. One good reason might be if you were installing to a 112 disk other than your own, as might happen if you needed to prepare a 113 disk for another machine which couldn't load FreeBSD directly 114 for some reason. 115 116 Note: If you set this option, you will only be able to install 117 packages if the base distribution is also installed (usually 118 the case anyway) since /usr/sbin/pkg_add will otherwise not be 119 found after the chroot() call. 120 121 122Browser Package: Which package to load for an HTML browser. 123 124 By default, this is set to links but may also be set to any other 125 text capable HTML browser for which a package exists. If you set this 126 to an X based browser, you will not be able to use it if you're running 127 in text mode! :) 128 129 130Browser Exec: Which binary to run for the HTML browser. 131 132 The full pathname to the main executable in Browser Package. 133 134 135Media Type: Which media type is being used. 136 137 This is mostly informational and indicates which media type (if any) 138 was last selected in the Media menu. It's also a convenient short-cut 139 to the media menu itself. 140 141 142Package Temp: Where package temporary files should go 143 144 Some packages, like emacs, can use a LOT of temporary space - up to 145 20 or 30MB. If you are going to configure a small / directory and no 146 separate /var (and hence a small /var/tmp), then you may wish to set 147 this to point at another location (say, /usr/tmp). 148 149 150Newfs Args: Specify default arguments to newfs(8) 151 152 The default parameters used to build new filesystems. 153 If you will be running a service that creates millions of small 154 files or need to specify different default parameters for any 155 other reason, you may do so here. 156 157 158Fixit Console: The location of the fixit console 159 160 Specifies where sysinstall should start the fixit shell for 161 interactive repair. Valid arguments are "serial" for a serial 162 port, or "standard" for VTY4. 163 164 165Re-scan Devices: 166 167 Reprobe the system for devices. 168 169 170Use Defaults: Use default values. 171 172 Reset all options back to their default values. 173
