I realize that _someone_ has to do the work to make a given change. Sometimes I am able to be that person; other times, I haven't the time or skills it would take. OTOH, I'm loathe to keep silent when I think I know what constitutes "Best Practice" in a given situation. How or when the changes get made is another matter, but if we don't know where we want to be, we have no real chance of getting there... The situation regarding sysinstall, in any case, might be one which calls for help from another part of the FreeBSD Project. Might this be a monkey which could be handed off (at least, in part) to the folks who are in charge of sysinstall, per se? Back to the original thread of the discussion, I still haven't heard anything that I can use to modify my article. Please, folks, tell me if I need to change anything at final edit! -r -- -- Rich Morin: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841, http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Prime Time Freeware: info@ptf.com, +1 408-433-9662, http://www.ptf.com MacPerl: http://www.macperl.com, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MPPE MkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MKLP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
