1The following options may be set from this screen. 2 3NFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port 4 5 This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which 6 will not talk NFS over "non privileged" ports. 7 8 9NFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or Ethernet card 10 11 Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an Ethernet card 12 with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance 13 workstation. This will throttle the workstation back to prevent 14 the PC from becoming swamped with data. 15 16 17NFS TCP: Use TCP for the NFS mount 18 19 This option can be used if your NFS server supports TCP 20 connections; not all do! This may be useful if your NFS server 21 is at a remote site in which case it may offer some additional 22 stability. 23 24 25NFS version 3: Use NFS version 3 26 27 This option forces the use of NFS version 3 and is on by default. 28 If your NFS server only supports NFS version 2, disable this option. 29 30 31Debugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag 32 33 This turns on a lot of extra noise in between dialogs (unless 34 debugFile has been set, sending the data to a logfile instead). 35 Optionally, if debugFile begins with a plus sign (`+'), output will 36 occur both on standard output and to debugFile (minus leading plus). 37 If your installation should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this 38 flag on when attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a 39 lot of extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful 40 to the developers in tracking such problems down! 41 42 43Yes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs 44 45 This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially 46 decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundary" conditions that 47 might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative 48 of other problems. It's most useful to those who are doing unattended 49 installs. 50 51 52DHCP: Enable DHCP configuration of interfaces 53 54 This option specifies whether DHCP configuration of interfaces 55 may be attempted. The default setting is to interactively ask 56 the user. 57 58 59IPv6: Enable IPv6 router solicitation configuration 60 61 This option specifies whether automatic configuration of IPv6 62 interfaces may be attempted. This uses the router solicitation 63 method of automatic configuration. The default setting is to 64 interactively ask the user. 65 66 67FTP username: Specify username and password instead of anonymous. 68 69 By default, the installation attempts to log in as the 70 anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else, 71 specify the username and password with this option. 72 73 74Editor: Specify which screen editor to use. 75 76 At various points during the installation it may be necessary 77 to customize some text file, at which point the user will be 78 thrown unceremoniously into a screen editor. A relatively 79 simplistic editor which shows its command set on-screen is 80 selected by default, but UNIX purists may wish to change this 81 setting to `/usr/bin/vi'. 82 83 84Release Name: Which release to attempt to load from installation media. 85 86 You should only change this option if you're really sure you know 87 what you are doing! This will change the release name used by 88 bsdconfig when fetching components of any distributions, and 89 is a useful way of using a more recent installation boot floppy 90 with an older release (say, on CDROM). 91 92 93Media Type: Which media type is being used. 94 95 This is mostly informational and indicates which media type (if any) 96 was last selected in the Media menu. It's also a convenient short-cut 97 to the media menu itself. 98 99 100Package Temp: Where package temporary files should go 101 102 Some packages, like emacs, can use a LOT of temporary space - up to 103 20 or 30MB. If you are going to configure a small / directory and no 104 separate /var (and hence a small /var/tmp), then you may wish to set 105 this to point at another location (say, /usr/tmp). 106 107 108Re-scan Devices: 109 110 Reprobe the system for devices. 111 112 113Use Defaults: Use default values. 114 115 Reset all options back to their default values. 116
