Internet access.

On following the onsite instructions the fetch https' instruction fails, because fetch' is an unrecognised command in Debian. On navigating to /config/etc/rc.d/, I find that setup_netifs doesn't appear to exist to facilitate the download. All other aspects of the install went well, except for the Internet access aspect. Where am I going wrong? Thanks for any time and trouble taken with this.

Hi @Weaver2World ,

I'm not quite sure I understand. You tried to build (running the build script) a NomadBSD image on a Debian system? If that's the case, this won't work. You need a FreeBSD system which has a ABI compatible with the base system of the NomadBSD image you intend to build.

No, I already have Nomad installed on a flash drive, but have no Internet access through it. On going to the Git site to get the required file (setup_netifs), as I can't download it, I find it doesn't virtually exist.

It's quite possible to install Nomad from a Debian system, because I've done it from my Debian \home folder to the thumb drive on an ext4 format. It's up and running. All I lack is Internet access from it.

The setup_netifs script is only needed for the 1.2 version of NomadBSD. If you download and boot 1.3.1 the script is already included.
