>Description:
I like current configuration style, /etc/rc.conf and
/etc/default/rc.conf. But /stand/sysinstall has some
problems. Please check and fix these.
1. illegal lines are added after sysinstall.
Before /stand/sysinstall in /etc/rc.conf, if there is enable flags
for NFS client, like this.
nfs_client_enable="YES"
Execute sysinstall and select with below scenario.
1) Select, Configure --> Networking --> NFS client
2) NFS client was checked and already enabled
3) push space key **twice** --> also NFS client is enabled
4) exit sysinstall
After this, there is no changes about configuration in sysinstall,
but below lines are added to /etc/rc.conf.
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
nfs_client_enable="YES"
2. no way to disable services via sysinstall
If you want to disable service, erase check box via
sysinstall. But no lines is added or erased in /etc/rc.conf
Before /stand/sysinstall, in /etc/rc.conf if there is enable flags
for NFS client like this.
nfs_client_enable="YES"
Execute sysinstall and select with below scenario.
1) Select, Configure --> Networking --> NFS client
2) NFS client was checked and already enabled
2) push space key at **one** --> NFS client is disabled
3) exit sysinstall
After this, but there is no changes in /etc/rc.conf.
3. Shotcut key problem
