Hello misc,
I have been installing 4.0- beta snapshots via FTP on a few machines (i386 and amd64) and after installation, one of the sysctl modifications I always make is increasing net.inet.tcp.recvspace so I can make full use of my 9Mbit ADSL2+ line. While performing installs, I have discovered the sets are not downloading at full speed (tested on multiple mirrors), and I have not been able to change this sysctl setting during install, as after escaping to a shell there is no sysctl binary to be found. I'm aware I could be pre-preparing my own CDs with install sets and using them. But, out of curiosity, is there a reasoning for not including the sysctl binary on the install image, and hence not allowing sysctl modifications during the installation of these snapshots? Or am I missing something which could allow the install to use all available bandwidth? Cheers, -- Scott Radvan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
