A *network* connection is required (LAN/WAN depending on where you will be installing from) *or* you will have to provide a 'local source[1]' for the install to pull BASE packages from. [1] Local source can be an NFS mounted partition, local hard-drive with the base packages, etc... where-ever the BASE install files are located. > While such wording may be helpful to a new user over completely absent > directions, it's technically flawed.

If such a README is to be implemented, I could find myself writing some correct descriptions =2E.. perhaps a pr is in order? --=20 > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------070506040109000809060505-- --------------enig8473D2DF2B1F251C0EE6C3B0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOYwErAAoJEO7NmoTVsgwM5O0IAKMI1HngNXpDOcp5vjwCSn4o tkqmYetSX5RQo9H/kAlQ9ZFEYcLvj1ZEHRqgj6rIvy30U9VPQy0DtlLCX/E08veR g4pmpgyi1e8djBQ1pdZ7OHmr6cLYh9fvzjMFHKGWAI3yJqlz97hptLe4TrEdbMmM 5Wxys7PQrXsb2juFLyNG7j3hYMJPhuNhX7zvfkOj7DpSr0ME/8lPelTH1ODXFJxm zhdv5/wzHeWlSCbx7JFay1wJ1iL55FYPQnWBK6IORaQjp+WgwXHyKoFSbT+TGq/a VkYGnwZqC+s/R7Lpv70M//5VzL03/AZG7H8D3+ypWYmrlUvZhSS4ZvpgXCXCnGY= =MfNW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8473D2DF2B1F251C0EE6C3B0--
