Hi,
I noticed that /etc/freebsd-update.conf's content (specifically "Components" directive) is the same among my FreeBSD systems:
I would like to know if this list belongs to "Distribution Select" menu during FreeBSD installation.
For example, I just ran
Next, I ran
and
How is it checked? At filesystem level?
To summarize: I don't know precisely how to "match":
1) Distribution Select during installation phase
2) Components listed in /etc/freebsd-update.conf
3) Components listed in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/11.2-RELEASE/
Thank you!
I noticed that /etc/freebsd-update.conf's content (specifically "Components" directive) is the same among my FreeBSD systems:
Code:
# Components of the base system which should be kept updated.
Components src world kernel
I would like to know if this list belongs to "Distribution Select" menu during FreeBSD installation.
For example, I just ran
freebsd-update fetch
and I got:
Code:
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found.
...
Next, I ran
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/11.2-RELEASE/src.txz
tar -C / -xzvf src.txz
and
freebsd-update fetch
showed no more "src component not installed".How is it checked? At filesystem level?
