Greetings, Does anyone have experience installing OpenBSD for civilian use and/or a Live CD set?
I have a relatively new Dell Insperon lap top W/6 gigs RAM and 1 TB HDD . 3000 series, model 3558., Intel i3-5051U so, I'm 99.9%+ sure its an AMD64 type of chip. #0: I don't have a Live CD so I tried to download the 5.9 version from a HTTP mirror in San Francisco ( http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.9/amd64/ ). I burned it to a CD but it didn't work. I've gone all of the way from just trying : install59.iso to burning and trying all of the images on the: Index of/pub/OpenBSD/5.9/amd64 but nothing worked. #1: I do have other live CD's so I popped the one for OpenSUSE in and the message "Welcome to Grub" popped up. So I have the UEFI/BIOS configured correctly. (Blessings to Dell for having such awesome support pages & BIOS settings- IMHO they are much better that ASUS or HP .) #2: I'm thinking that I'm pulling & burning the wrong images from HTTP but I just don't have enough experience on pulling things off of mirror sites and making them work. #3: I will be at the clinic Sunday with the machine & an extra machine to burn images. I'm open to ideas. *But, Don't Do It For Me *, just show me how. If you do it for me I'll never learn. Finally, before everybody flames me just remember. Unlike people that sit on a distro for years and never change, I'm always willing to push the limits of my knowledge, take chances and learn new things. And everybody was a newbie at some point, I'm just a newbie @ OpenBSD. Blessings, Paul W. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
