Sorry if this is a repost, but I don't think it is. I also apologize for asking about this: I know it's been discussed before, but apparently I need someone to hold my hand through this. I have -current as of about 9/24 on my desktop. I also own the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD. I would like tp install 2.2.2 on my laptop via the desktop. Desktop is working OK, so mounting the CD is no problem. Here is some info on my desktop setup that may be relevant. rc.conf: ############################################################## ### Network configuration sub-section ###################### ############################################################## ### Basic network options: ### hostname="tower.my.domain" # Set this! nisdomainname="NO" # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO). firewall_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality firewall_type="UNKNOWN" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall) firewall_quiet="NO" # Set to YES to suppress rule display tcp_extensions="YES" # Allow RFC1323 & RFC1544 extensions (or NO). network_interfaces="lo0 lp0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_lp0="inet 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" #ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample alias entry. /etc/hosts: # # 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain # # Imaginary network.

I have no problems with setting up the hard disk. Then: 1. I choose install over NFS. 2. NFS file specification for remote is: tower.my.domain:/cdrom 3. I choose PLIP using laplink cable. 4. I get stumped at the Network Configuration part. I have tried al sorts of combinations invlolving tower.my.domain, laptop.my.domain, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.1, and even 127.0.0.1. Can someone tell me the appropriate way to fill these in? a. Host: b. Domain c. Gateway: d. Name Server: e. IP address: f. Netmask: g. Options to ifconfig. I read the help for this screen, but I just can't get it right. Thanks. Greg
