oopsie. what I meant to say was, using the sysinstall in 4.2-release, I was only able to get around the prompt by setting TryRTSOL=YES. setting TryRTSOL=NO still gave me the IPv6 prompt and I spent much time looking through the source code trying to figure out if I had the right variable. finally, I tried setting it to yes and found that the install script would simply search for an IPv6 server and, not finding one, would time out. then I added a line that read chflags noschg /etc/rc.conf to my custom package post script to prevent sysinstall from adding the IPv6 stuff to the rc.conf file I had just added in the package. this probably isn't technically the correct way to do it, but it was the only way I could figure out to get a completely automated install. -rich goodson -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Grover To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Sent: 7/30/2001 12:06 PM Subject: sysinstall in mfsroot.flp Hello, I need to install freebsd on a large cluster of machines. I am using pxe boot to do this. It essentially sets up your machine to download a kernel and an mfs_root over the network. My mfsroot is a superset of mfsroot.flp from the freebsd distribution. In mfsroot.flp, the /stand directory contains a bunch of executables hardlinked to the same file. a> I'd like to know how this executable was created. I am using sysinstall to setup my machines. Since I don't want my install procedure to be interactive, I am running sysinstall in batch mode (I have an install.cfg which directs its execution). Within install.cfg, I have the following at the top: 'noninteractive=YES'. Inspite of this, right after sysinstall begins to run, it asks me if i'd like to setup IPV6. I don't want to use IPV6 and I'd like to get around this prompt. b> Does anyone know how to get around the IPV6 prompt in sysinstall? regards, Rohit Grover.
