I just had someone congratulate us on our 4.x sysinstall. He mainly deals and dealt with Linux, Solaris and Windows and he just loves the way it works. And most of my colleagues at the tech department also love the sysinstall. And even my `I-have-never-used-Unix-before' colleagues at the helpdesk can install FreeBSD. There are obviously two ways to look at this issue: - programmer view - user view and from a user point of view sysinstall is actually pretty good. It does what needs to be done and without moaning. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Abandon hope, all ye who enter here...
