. During install, in the 'Add Users' part, why is it able to add the new user 'peter' to a new group 'peter' [the default option], but when I try to put user 'peter' into a more generic new group 'admin' it says group does not exist - I figure group 'peter' also does not exist at this time. "Invite peter into other groups? []" - Sounds like the user gets an invitation and that I should answer 'yes'/'no' here, not with an actual group name, how about "List other groups peter should be added to:" Also, after I'm done with that and "Open a shell in the new system", /etc/passwd is populated with user 'peter', but /etc/rc.conf and /etc/fstab files do not exist. I wanted to change fstab to use the gpt labels, not partition numbers but that file does not exist and gets overwritten by installer on reboot. rc.conf - I created a one line comment "#pk test' - after reboot this is what I have in /etc/rc.conf $ cat /etc/rc.conf hostname="pkbsd" # pk test ifconfig_em0="DHCP" sshd_enable="YES" So my comment stayed but was moved when installer configs were written on reboot. Added same comment to /etc/fstab, but it did not stay and was overwritten: $ cat /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ada0p2 / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ada0p3 none swap sw 0 0 So even if I did add the gpt labeled 'Devices' in there, it would be overwritten when the installer reboots and makes the live shell a gamble of what will stay what won't on reboot.... ]Peter[Received on Wed Oct 19 2011 - 13:52:35 UTC
