Re: floppy install problems with strange message

2005-10-31 Thread Rino Mardo
yes this are made fresh from the fbsd ftp server. i've also checked
the distribution set in options and it is set correct (5.4-RELEASE).
the handbook only mentioned setting the Release name as far as cvsup
is concerned.

i found warning messages from tty2 though:

DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
DEBUG: Warning: Zero length name or value passed to variable_set2(httpFtpMode)


the last one appeared six times in a row.

 are those recent floppies?
 i've never had that problem, and have done hundreds of installs. try
 checking which distrobution is set in the options, and check the
 handbook on setting the Release Name

floppy install problems with strange message

2005-10-30 Thread Rino Mardo
hello, i'm trying a floppy install of the 5.4-RELEASE and whatever ftp
site i choose i would get the following message:

No such directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/5.4-RELEASE
please check the URL and try again.


i know the snapshot directory doesn't exist (if i ftp directly to the
server) so how come this would come for the floppy install?
