>Number: 10306 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Registration file generated during install does not include instructions >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Feb 28 09:20:00 PST 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Drew Derbyshire >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Kendra Electronic Wonderworks >Environment: Install FreeBSD 2.2.8 release from CD-ROM's with no network during install. >Description: The FreeBSD installation prompts for registration information, and allows saving this information if a network connection is not immediately available. However, the generated file is devoid of instructions (in particular the e-mail address to send the registration to) and thus unless the installer writes down the address, the registration is likely to be discarded. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD and use the registration option with no network connection. >Fix: Include e-mail address in the generated output file with suitable comment on how to mail it. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
