Now that `boot -c' is essentially the default in the upcoming 2.1.6 and 2.2 boot floppies, it occurs to me that we're going to have to document visual userconfig better if we're to have any hope of people actually using it, rather than just whapping return at the first intro screen. Yes, the intro screen does say "if you're installing FreeBSD for the first time, use visual userconfig to set the kernel to match your hardware." but it doesn't say *how* to go about the process in a more cookbook fashion. Ideally, a page or two of text which led the user through a sample session, taking care to impress upon the user just *why* it was important to resolve all the conflicts and delete extraneous device entries, would really help this process along and we could put it very prominently in the README now that it's not an optional step. Any takers? Puhleeeze? Thanks!!! Jordanhome | help
