The following reply was made to PR misc/70231; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Freddie Cash <fcash@sd73.bc.ca> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, hampi@rootshell.be Cc: Subject: Re: misc/70231: Beastie not by default Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 10:01:27 -0800 If you look at the Beastie Boot menu, it's really two parts: the menu itself, and the image. Why not make the two parts independent? It's not like one actually depends on the other. In fact, by making the two independent, you open the door for people to create their own custom logos. What's wrong with that? Ship FreeBSD with the boot menu enabled, the beastie image disabled, and with a knob for putting in custom images. Voila! Everybody wins. Those that just want a menu (which is very useful), can have just a menu. Those that want a menu and the beastie, can have that. Those that want a menu and a custom image can have that. And those that want neither the menu nor the image can have that as well. Why is this such a big deal?? -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
