Mike, I found your post regarding "unattended install" while digging through the archive: >We have actually supported unattended installs for some time >through sysinstall's scripting support. If there's an >install.cfg file in the boot image MFS, it's run straight away. >This lets you do everything that sysinstall handles, fully >automatically. I'd tried placing a install.cfg in the boot floopy (2.2.7R) but the usual install menu came up:( Also, according to the sysinstall(8) manpage: If sysinstall is compiled with LOAD_CONFIG_FILE set in the envi-ronment (or in the Makefile) to some value, then that value will be used as the filename to automatically look for and load when sysinstall starts up and with no user interaction required. But when I did a "grep LOAD_CONFIG_FILE *" in /usr/src/release/sysinstall I couldn't find any #ifdef LOAD_CONFIG_FILE lines. In fact the only occurance was in systinall.8! Where did I go wrong? TIA for any pointers. ---end--- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
