Like I said, my take at this has been to write everything at a high functional level in C++ and TV, providing large functional blocks like "configure network device" or "open media" which are then exported into TCL so that you can use it as a true scripting language to control installation flow. You wouldn't write the whole install in TCL with infinite extensibility (as some of us might have envisioned), just use it to control the whole "novice/expert/custom" install paradigm and provide hooks for command-line invocation of installation "configlets" Jordan From owner-freebsd-config Tue Mar 4 20:37:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA22183 for config-outgoing; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 20:37:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from rover.village.org (rover.village.org [204.144.255.49]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA22164 for ; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 20:37:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from rover.village.org [127.0.0.1] by rover.village.org with esmtp (Exim 0.56 #1) id E0w28Rc-0001XV-00; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 21:36:48 -0700 To: Michael Smith Subject: Re: Psst!
