To prepare for installing via Kermit:
|

|

The preparations for this method of installation
|

require that the kermit program be put on the
|

dos-floppy installation disk. This will be
|
||||
loaded as part of the minimum base installation.
|
||||
Kermit is available from tools directory of the

FreeBSD FTP site. This is a FreeBSD binary and
|
||||
only executes under the FreeBSD operating system.

|

|
||||
To install via Kermit:
|
||||
|
||||
First you must decide on a temporary directory to hold
|
||||
the <set>.tar.gz.xx files. The directory /usr/distrib
|
||||
is suggested. You should cd to it, if necessary do
|
||||
a mkdir first. Use set_tmp_dir to identify this
|
||||
directory to the install process.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoke kermit and dial the remote kermit server.
|
||||
A typical session might be:
|
||||
# stty -f /dev/sio01 clocal
|
||||
# kermit
|
||||
C-Kermit> set line /dev/sio01
|
||||
C-Kermit> set baud 9600
|
||||
C-Kermit> set receive packet 740
|
||||
C-Kermit> set window 4
|
||||
C-Kermit> set block 2
|
||||
C-Kermit> connect
|
||||
Connecting to /dev/sio01, speed 9600.
|
||||
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
|
||||
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
|
||||
or followed by ? to see other options.
|
||||
atdt 1234567 <-- dial the remote
|
||||
Connect 9600
|
||||
login: mylogin <-- login to the remote
|
||||
remote$ kermit -x <-- invoke remote kermit as server
|
||||
C-Kermit server starting. Return to your local machine by typing
|
||||
its escape sequence for closing the connection, and issue further
|
||||
commands from there. To shut down the C-Kermit server, issue the
|
||||
BYE command to logout, or the FINISH command and then reconnect.
|
||||
^\C <-- return to local kermit
|
||||
C-Kermit> get bin_tgz* <-- request files from remote
|
||||
... (wait long for transfer to complete)
|
||||
C-Kermit> finish <-- terminate remote server
|
||||
C-Kermit> connect
|

remote$ exit <-- exit remote host
|

^\C <-- return to local kermit
|
||||
C-Kermit> exit <-- exit local kermit
|
||||
|
||||
At this point the binary distribution should be
|
||||
downloaded to the FreeBSD system. Run the "extract"
|
||||
command, giving it as its sole argument the name
|
||||
of the distribution set you wish to extract. For
|
||||
example, to extract the binary distribution, use
|
||||
the command:
|
||||
|
||||
extract bin
|
||||
|
||||
and to extract the source distribution:
|
||||
|
||||
extract src
|
||||
|
||||
After the extraction is complete, go to the location
|
||||
of the next set you want to extract, "set_tmp_dir"
|
||||
again, and once again issue the appropriate
|
||||
extract command. Continue this process until
|
||||
you've finished installing all of the sets which you
|
||||
desire to have on your hard disk.
|
||||
|
||||
After each set is finished, if you know that you
|
||||
are running low on space you can remove the
|
||||
distribution files for that set by saying:
|
||||
|
||||
rm <set>*
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you wish to remove the distribution
|
||||
files for the binarydist set, after the "extract bin"
|
||||
command has completed, issue the command:
|
||||
|
||||
rm bin*
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt
|
||||
again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System,"
|
||||
below.
