except for the scripts saying “HTTP” instead of “FTP.” If you have a choice, use FTP. (FTP is a more reliable protocol for transferring large amounts of data than HTTP.) HTTP/FTP proxy URL? (e.g. ‘http://proxy:8080′, or ‘none’) [none] If you are behind a FTP or HTTP proxy server, you can enter the URL here. If you aren’t, just hit ENTER. Do you want a list of potential ftp servers? [y] The installer can fetch a list of mirror sites for the release you are installing. If you already know which OpenBSD mirror site you are going to use, you will have an opportunity later to enter it directly. Otherwise, you should probably take a look at the list of servers. 1 1 2 ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD 2 ftp://ftp.openbsd.org.ar/pub/OpenBSD 3 ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD 3 Alberta, CanadaBuenos Aires, ArgentinaCanberra, Australia … Each line is an official OpenBSD mirror for this release and includes an 1 index number, a 2 URL, and a 3 physical location. If you’re not certain which mirror is closest on the network, choose a mirror that is physically close. [1] Remember the index number for your closest mirror. In my case, this looks best. 66 ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD Boulder, CO, USA At the end of the server list, the installer asks you which mirror to use. If you had previously chosen a particular mirror or have a local FTP server you’re using, you could enter that host name here. Otherwise, just enter the server number. Server IP address, hostname, or list#? [] 66 Using ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD Does the server support passive mode ftp? [y] Passive mode FTP is a more modern version of the FTP protocol, designed to cooperate with packet-filtering firewalls. Some very old FTP servers do not support passive mode FTP properly, however. Almost all public OpenBSD mirrors support passive mode FTP; if you have problems getting the software from a particular server, however, you might try setting this to “no.” Server directory? [pub/OpenBSD/3.2/i386] pub/OpenBSD/3.2/i386 If you entered a number from the FTP server list, the installer remembers which directory of the FTP server the software can be found in. Otherwise, enter the full path to the architecture’s release directory here. Login? [anonymous] OpenBSD mirrors generally allow anonymous access. If you are installing from a local mirror, you might need to enter a username and password here. [1]In an ideal world, before starting you would have identified your closest mirror with ping(8) and traceroute(8). But I’m not about to walk you through these commands for every operating system that you might have! Page 77
