I'd suggest to ask for the *three* possible DNS server. I always have to change /etc/resolv.conf manually after a FreeBSD installation. I think this would be a simple change. Additionally we could perhaps think about making DNS configuration to a separate menue. We could ask the user for: domain name [ dom.ain.from.tcp_ip_setup ] 1. DNS Server [ first.dns.server ] 2. DNS Server [ second.dns.server ] 3. DNS Server [ third.dns.server ] Order of name resolving clickable: [ ] bind hosts (recommended) [ ] hosts bind 2) Add a menue to enable and configure the automounter. This could be an additional submenue, that would be presented - in the custom installation - in all other installations types if user decides, to setup the machine as a NFS client. From the Network or perhaps the new DNS setup menue we already know the domainname of the machine and could simply configure: amd_enable="YES" # Run amd service with $amd_flags (or NO). amd_flags="-a /net -c 1800 -k i386 -d my.domain -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map" ^^^^^^^^^ the real domain ! I think this wouldn't be hard to implement and should go into the next -STABLE and -current release. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
