I don’t know what could result in such situation – do you have any network interfaces on the machine? If you know Python you might try adding print repr(nics) above the loop with the error to inspect the contents of the nics array.

Howdy,

I’ve tested your installer, but i can’t start finstall,

by the boot i got following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “systoold.py”, line 166, in
TryBroadcastConfig()
File “systoold.py”, line 115, in TryBroadcastConfig
if ‘UP’ in nics[nic]['flags_str'] and ‘RUNNING’ in nics[nic]['flags_str'] and nics[nic]['status'] == ‘active’ and not ‘inet’ in nics[nic]:
KeyError: ’status’

when i start X, and run finstall i get
Cannot contact SysToolD server on http://localhost:1025. Try a different server.

Any Idea?

Thanks for all this work here.

I don’t know about any problems with cdwriter permissions (since I occasionally burn CDs from FreeBSD without problems) so maybe you could write to stable/at/freebsd.org about your problems and see if there’s a solution. If you mean “usb printer” support then no, not for the forseeable future.

Good to see the FreeBSD amde easier to install. I’m still having basic trouble with cdwriter permissions and ubprinter support. Any chance of this being configured in the installer?
