However, IMHO, one thing needs to be solved before you embark on the Config wizqrd project. The problem with PicoBSD is that it's a hack, not a solution. At least I view it as such. The building process is too complicated and way too limited - e.g. have you tried to add lynx to the crunch? Then, currently used building process consisting of shell scripts doesn't fit too well to our src/, where everything needs to be bmake'able. IMO this needs to be fixed first before we even start some more sophisticated "configure" wizard. Also, we need to have something what normal boot.flp already has - ability to build PicoBSD root filesystem for some other media than built-in MFS. Then, we need to solve somehow the issue of using /usr/ports which in current version is just horrible and requires hand-patching the port sources. So, again, IMHO we need to solve these issues first, because they need to be solved anyway, and if you start building a Config wizard now, it's existence can be short-lived...
