Talk:Creating an Automated Installation with pc-sysinstall
From PC-BSD Wiki
- We should include an example, even if it is relatively basic, to give context to the variables and how they would be used.
- It highly bothers me that '=' is shown to be part of the variable names here. An improved explanation along with the example mentioned above, would allow the table to be fixed (removal of the '=' from variable names.)
I have a sample pc-sysinstall.cfg that could be used, if you like. It's a little more complex than normal, but it does show how multiple network interfaces are configured:
