Getting the Target's Name and Address

Getting the Target's Name and Address

The name and address of the target system are required for miniroot installations when the distribution source is on a remote installation server. Enter the hostname command from the target system to get its name:

% hostname

Enter the ping command from the target to get its Internet Protocol (IP) address. Use the output of the hostname command as an argument to ping:

% /usr/etc/ping -c 1 target_name
