Re: vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
Brian (and others). You are correct about the installation. I had a 3.0-R slice, and somehow corrupted it. I decided I would go to 4.0 and follow current. That is when the problem started. However: very early this morning, I got 3.2 (19990812) floppies and did a ftp installation with those. The "ppp" worked great on ALT-F3! I now have a base installation and kernel source for compiling. I won't do a full install of 3.2 because I want to follow current. If I can provide any other information about what is not working on 4.0, let me know. I will do whatever to get this working :) Mike At 03:45 PM 08/13/1999 +0100, Brian Somers wrote: It sounds like ppp is simply exiting immediately.

HTH in solving my problem fwiw dept.- I have been using FreeBSD since 2.21-R Errum, if this is a re-install, I may see what the problem is. I changed sysinstall to run ``ppp install'' as sysinstall now writes an ``install'' label into ppp.conf. Might it be the case that a reinstall doesn't add the ``install'' label ? -- Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Awfulhak.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

The only other vty that is available is vty1 (alt-f2) for monitoring. Get a load of this: the holographic shell is on ttyv3, which is accessed by pressing Alt-F4, as I already told you but you conveniently ignored. Now come back when you have a clue.

Re: vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
Use alt-F4 for the shell during install. vty0 - alt-F1 [Install] vty1 - alt-F2 [Debug] vty2 - alt-f3 [Inactive] vty3 - alt-F4 [Shell] PrtScr will cycle through all available vty's. HTH.

How about we emit a message:
"This screen intentionally left blank." :)
vty3 - alt-F4 [Shell]
PrtScr will cycle through all available vty's.

The shell is not started until after the install starts, ie when the ftp connects (the dists start getting untarred.)

Re: vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
Well, something is wrong with what I am trying to say :) After entering the phone number to my ISP, the message screen pops up saying "...type ALT-F3..." to go to that vty. A person is supposed to go to that vty and then either type "dial" or "term". It is at this time that the vty (alt-f3) is not active/available! In other words, how do I type "dial" or "term" if I can't get to that vty?

It sounds like ppp is simply exiting immediately. I'll turn debugging on and give it a shot myself; perhaps somebody broke something. - Jordan I should have also stated that I tried all the other "F" keys also.

vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
I just downloaded the latest snap (080799) and tried installing it. When getting to the media section and configuring ppp for a ftp install, I try going to vty3 (alt-f3). However, that vty is not available. I have tried this 3 times now. Is this broken? I did a search for this but have found nothing.
