Use the SPACE key -to toggle an option's value, Q to leave when you're done. - -NFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port - - This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which - will not talk NFS over "non privileged" ports. - - -NFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or Ethernet card - - Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an Ethernet card - with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance - workstation. 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 over on the second screen - (ALT-F2 to see it, ALT-F1 to switch back). 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! - - -No Warnings: Disable some warnings - - This flag tells sysinstall, and particularly the disk editing - routines, that you consider yourself to know what you are - doing and disables various warning. It is not recommended that - you enable this option. - - -Yes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs - - This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially - decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundary" conditions that - might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative - of other problems. It's most useful to those who are doing unattended - installs. - - -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'. - - -Tape Blocksize: Specify block size in 512 byte blocks of tape. - - This defaults to 20 blocks, which should work with most - tape drive + tar combinations. It may not allow your particular - drive to win any records for speed, however, and the more - adventurous among you might try experimenting with larger sizes. - - -Extract Detail: How to show filenames on debug screen as they're extracted. - - While a distribution is being extracted, the default detail level - of "high" will show the full file names as they're extracted. - If you would prefer a more terse form for this, namely dots, select - the "medium" detail level. If you want nothing to be printed - on the debugging screen during extraction, select "low". - - -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 - sysinstall 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). - - -Install Root: Specify some directory other than / as your "root". - - This should be left as / unless you have a really good reason to - change it. One good reason might be if you were installing to a - disk other than your own, as might happen if you needed to prepare a - disk for another machine which couldn't load FreeBSD directly - for some reason. - - Note: If you set this option, you will only be able to install - packages if the base distribution is also installed (usually - the case anyway) since /usr/sbin/pkg_add will otherwise not be - found after the chroot() call. - - -Browser Package: Which package to load for an HTML browser. - - By default, this is set to links but may also be set to any other - text capable HTML browser for which a package exists. If you set this - to an X based browser, you will not be able to use it if you're running - in text mode! :) - - -Browser Exec: Which binary to run for the HTML browser. - - The full pathname to the main executable in Browser Package. - - -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. - - -Package Temp: Where package temporary files should go - - Some packages, like emacs, can use a LOT of temporary space - up to - 20 or 30MB. If you are going to configure a small / directory and no - separate /var (and hence a small /var/tmp), then you may wish to set - this to point at another location (say, /usr/tmp). - - -Newfs Args: Specify default arguments to newfs(8) - - The default parameters used to build new filesystems. - If you will be running a service that creates millions of small - files or need to specify different default parameters for any - other reason, you may do so here. - - -Fixit Console: The location of the fixit console - - Specifies where sysinstall should start the fixit shell for - interactive repair. Valid arguments are "serial" for a serial - port, or "standard" for VTY4. - - -Re-scan Devices: - - Reprobe the system for devices. - - -Use Defaults: Use default values. - - Reset all options back to their default values. |
