Use with abandon - I like those badges, and I'd like to see more of them sprinkled around. In fact, I need to put one on shiningsilence.com.

Thanks. I have networking working now, and I'm installing Apache. Once I have my "Dragonflies on DragonFly" website set up, may I use the "Powered by DragonFly" bade 3 from the images site on it? 2009/4/21 Matthew Dillon : > > :OK. > : > :How do I configure my ethernet card for a static IP address?

:OK. : :How do I configure my ethernet card for a static IP address? I :understand the ifconfig command, but it looks like I have to ignore :that and put ifconfig_rl0="something-or-other" in /etc/rc.conf. And I :don't know what the something-or-other should be.

Re: Release 2.2.1? [was: Re: How to configure DragonFly?]
OK. How do I configure my ethernet card for a static IP address? I understand the ifconfig command, but it looks like I have to ignore that and put ifconfig_rl0="something-or-other" in /etc/rc.conf. And I don't know what the something-or-other should be. 2009/4/21 Sascha Wildner : > Colin Adams schrieb: >> >> So I found the thread in question (I think). the advice was to to >> ALT-Fn too look for a X server that is working.

I tried both before and after logging in to installer. Colin, I don't think you need the installer for configuring your system. All of it can be done conveniently from the running system, most of it in /etc/rc.conf (see M.Neumann's mail e.g.). The installer is not quite ready to be run from a running system nicely. I will work on this in some time. It's just not quite there yet. Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx

So I found the thread in question (I think). the advice was to to ALT-Fn too look for a X server that is working. But I just find plain ttys. I tried both before and after logging in to installer. 2009/4/21 Colin Adams : > It still doesn't working. > Is there an archive for this list anywhere? > > 2009/4/21 Sdävtaker : >> Logged as instaler, i could install it successfullly, it crash the >> screen time to time, but works, try other consoles, 3 or 4, i dont >> remember now, try change consoles after log as instaler, i remember i >> did something like that, someone told me that in the list, there >> should be a mail about this, it is a know bug. >> Sdav >> >> On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 09:37, Colin Adams >> wrote: >>> Was this after booting from live DVD or from Hard disk?

It still doesn't working.

Start the installer from X and not from the console. Then it should work. My students here faced the same problem. Most of them downloaded the GUI DVD version and tried to install DragonFly from the first console and this failed, of course. When can we roll a 2.2.1/$whatever version? This bug is really annoying and most new users hit them (at least in my experience with a CS course here).

Logged as instaler, i could install it successfullly, it crash the screen time to time, but works, try other consoles, 3 or 4, i dont remember now, try change consoles after log as instaler, i remember i did something like that, someone told me that in the list, there should be a mail about this, it is a know bug.

2009/4/21 Matthias Schmidt : > ... > and this failed, of course. When can we roll a 2.2.1/$whatever version? No idea, but the env(1)[1] changes must be back ported first, in order to be able to build 2.2.x versions under -current. Cheers, Stathis [1] http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issue1337
Re: Release 2.2.1? [was: Re: How to configure DragonFly?]
Was this after booting from live DVD or from Hard disk? Did you just login as installer or login as root and type installer? Neither option does anything for me (after pressing ALT-F2 to get to a second console). 2009/4/21 Sdävtaker : > I made it work login in from 2nd console with no gui opened, it just > dont work in the 1st one > Sdav > > On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 03:15, Matthias Schmidt > wrote: >> HI, >> >> * Colin Adams wrote: >>> Furthermore, if I try to run the installer from the live DVD, it won't >>> let me TAB to any of the other options, such as configuring an >>> installed system (which is all I want to do). >> >> Start the installer from X and not from the console.
