Hello,
I tried to install opensuse11.3 behind a firewall. The installer for older releases used to offer the possibility to deactivate automatic configuration (directly after accepting the license). When this option was checked, it was possible to configure the proxy (and hostname and more things) before the online-update was run. This "deactivate automatic configuration" button seems no longer to exist.
No, it's still there.
So how do I get there? I tried three times: after accepting license, I get to the clock settings instead of this aforementioned screen. During the whole install procedure, there is no one button to disable this automatic configuration.
I'll have to start an installation to tell you exactly where, but I know I disable it every time. It's a tickbox called "Automatic configuration" (or something like that).
Yeah, I know where it used to be in earlier releases. Right after accepting the license before configuring the time zone, as I wrote above. But now it's no longer there.
So, how am I supposed to configure the proxy before running the online update without this option?
One option is over the kernel command line - I don't know the syntax, but I'm pretty certain it is possible.
Are you sure you are not talking about a shell prompt?
Yes. http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/YaST/SLES9/autoinstall/sles8/html/x1332.htm...
Look for "proxy" and "proxyport".
I don't think this will work in my case, since our proxy requires authentication :-((
BTW: Older releases used to offer a shell on virtual terminals. This was convenient in the case of problems. This also don't seem to be available any longer. Why?
I think it's also still there - doesn't Ctrl-Alt-F1 work?
No, they don't. All those Ctrl-Alt-F[1..12] give me, are some statistics and logs. But none of them have a shell running or say something about how to start a shell. (Older releases said something like "press ENTER for shell" or something).
I'll have to try it - I regularly ue the shell for configuring lilo, so I'm sure I would have noticed.
I bet they removed it to make it more "user friendly" (or more windows-like). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
