Yes, making this process easier with Sysinstall would be a Good Thing(tm). Especially I see the need here due to the widespread use of FreeBSD in enterprise environments. This topic will certainly come up again and again. What I would like to see is a customized boot disk that, after loading the kernel etc, goes into a script where you input the critical info (IP, DNS, ... ). It's required to ask the Crypto Questions, I understand -- however, we could "answer" those in the *.cfg file, to avoid the prompts. IMHO, this shouldn't be too difficult to implement. But it would be great to pool in everyone's ideas, so that everyone's needs are considered before commiting such changes. Anyone else have some feedback on this? _F To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
