I apologize for this post. I know this stuff has been discussed before. Somehow, I'm afraid I'm too dense to get it. Apparently I need someone to hold my hand through this process. I am running current (9/24) on my desktop and have 2.2.2-Release on CD. I would like to get the release on to my laptop with a parallel port laplink cable. Here are some relevant settings on my desktop: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain # # Imaginary network. Hopefully soon to be real. 10.0.0.2 tower.my.domain tower 10.0.0.3 laptop.my.domain laptop # # /etc/rc.conf # All arguments must be in double or single quotes. # # $Id: rc.conf,v 1.27 1997/09/21 16:09:48 joerg Exp $ ############################################################## ### Network configuration sub-section ###################### ############################################################## ### Basic network options: ### hostname="tower.my.domain" # Set this! nisdomainname="NO" # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO). firewall_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality firewall_type="UNKNOWN" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall) firewall_quiet="NO" # Set to YES to suppress rule display tcp_extensions="YES" # Allow RFC1323 & RFC1544 extensions (or NO). network_interfaces="lo0 lp0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_lp0="inet 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" #ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample alias entry. netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1 UH 0 281 lo0 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2 UH 0 0 lp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 365 lo0 ifconfig -a lp0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.2 --> 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 lp1: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 sl1: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 tower is running OK. No problems mounting the CD to /cdrom. Now my laptop. I boot with PAO-2.2-whatever. There's no indication of trouble with my setting up of slices etc. I do novice installation and: 1. Choose "Install over NFS" 2. Directory for distribution files = "tower.my.domain:/cdrom". 3. Choose PLIP using laplink cable. 4. Host = laptop.my.domain 5. Domain sets itself to my.domain 6. Gateway = 10.0.0.2 7. Nameserver I leave blank-- don't know what to put there. 8. Ditto for IP address. 9. In options to ifconfig I put 10.0.0.2 because instructions say I should put the remote address there. 10. Say OK With this I get that this interface can't be configured, so I try 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 and 127.0.0.1 in the IP address. I always get either can't resolve hostname tower.my.domain 10.0.0.2 or error mounting tower:/cdrom no such directory. Anyway, HEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP! Thanks. Greg
