This will throttle the workstation back to prevent + the PC from becoming swamped with data. + + +NFS TCP: Use TCP for the NFS mount + + This option can be used if your NFS server supports TCP + connections; not all do! This may be useful if your NFS server + is at a remote site in which case it may offer some additional + stability. + + +NFS version 3: Use NFS version 3 + + This option forces the use of NFS version 3 and is on by default. + If your NFS server only supports NFS version 2, disable this option. + + +Debugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag + + This turns on a lot of extra noise in between dialogs (unless + debugFile has been set, sending the data to a logfile instead). + Optionally, if debugFile begins with a plus sign (`+'), output will + occur both on standard output and to debugFile (minus leading plus). + If your installation should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this + flag on when attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a + lot of extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful + to the developers in tracking such problems down! + + +DHCP: Enable DHCP configuration of interfaces + + This option specifies whether DHCP configuration of interfaces + may be attempted. The default setting is to interactively ask + the user. + + +IPv6: Enable IPv6 router solicitation configuration + + This option specifies whether automatic configuration of IPv6 + interfaces may be attempted. This uses the router solicitation + method of automatic configuration. The default setting is to + interactively ask the user. + + +FTP username: Specify username and password instead of anonymous. + + By default, the installation attempts to log in as the + anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else, + specify the username and password with this option. + + +Editor: Specify which screen editor to use. + + At various points during the installation it may be necessary + to customize some text file, at which point the user will be + thrown unceremoniously into a screen editor. A relatively + simplistic editor which shows its command set on-screen is + selected by default, but UNIX purists may wish to change this + setting to `/usr/bin/vi'. + + +Release Name: Which release to attempt to load from installation media. + + You should only change this option if you're really sure you know + what you are doing! This will change the release name used by + bsdconfig when fetching components of any distributions, and + is a useful way of using a more recent installation boot floppy + with an older release (say, on CDROM). + + +Media Type: Which media type is being used. + + This is mostly informational and indicates which media type (if any) + was last selected in the Media menu. It's also a convenient short-cut + to the media menu itself. + + +Re-scan Devices: + + Reprobe the system for devices. + + +Use Defaults: Use default values. + + Reset all options back to their default values. |
