>Number: 320 >Category: bin >Synopsis: TCP/IP settings entered b4 install are not kept FDIV014 >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Apr 9 13:20:33 1995 >Originator: Frank Durda IV >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.0.0-SNAP950322 i386 >Environment: FreeBSD 2.0.0-SNAP950322 i386 >Description: [FDIV014] When doing FTP download, the installation procedire asks for the machines domain name, system name, IP number and other information prior to downloading modules. After downloads are complete, the installation procedure offers to finish configuring TCP/IP settings. If you select this, it asks the same questions again and has discarded the answers from the previous questions. (There is a related problem [FDIV015] where many of these values are lost anyway when the system reboots normally at the end of the install.) >How-To-Repeat: Install the system and select FTP download as the method. After installation is complete and you are offered the chance to finish configuring TCP/IP, select that choice. Note that it has forgotten the information you gave it earlier. >Fix: I suggest that the second set of questions not even be offered as a choice if the information was provided prior to downloads. Alternatively, all the boxes in the second pass should have the answers from the first configuration session as the defaults. *END* >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
