Re: Still can't install current via ftp!

1999-09-03 Thread Brian Somers

 
 I just downloaded the latest floppies from current (19990827) and tried
 installing current on a different machine that did not have a previous
 version of FreeBSD on it.
 As before (search for vty3 and Alt-F3), once I went through the novice
 installation and got to the part to connect to FreeBSD, I could not get to
 the vt (ALT-F3) to start ppp.
 This is for a new installation.
 Should I present this problem to the hackers maillist?
 I really think this is a problem that should be fixed by somebody.
 BTW- I did a new install of 3.2 and it worked great. It appears something
 happened between 3.2 and 4.0.
 Perhaps I will have to install 3.2 and then upgrade to 4.0??
 Thanks again,

You should use vty2 rather than vty3.  vty3 is a typo and has been 
fixed.  The ppp startup failure has also been fixed now, so if you 
try a September snapshot, there should be no problem.
