Of course, your solution will provide something more useful for : folks who don't want to interact with anything after typing the command. : Well, it will once it takes command-line options instead of / as well as : parsing a config file. :-) sysinstall doesn't work at all for me. On three different machines, it tells me that it found no disks. So I can't comment on this. It is about 1000x easier to use than sysinstall. One simple command, and you are good to go. It won't add anything to /etc/fstab, but I consider that to be a feature. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
