Refreshing honesty there Colin, you made my morning! Just chiming in here, hope you don't mind. In my case, all I'm after is a way to distribute a custom build of FreeBSD. When I say custom, I really just mean a standard build with a custom make.conf: CPUTYPE?=p3 CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_RESCUE=true NO_BLUETOOTH=true NO_I4B=true NO_IPFILTER=true NO_KERBEROS=true NO_LPR=true NOGAMES=true NO_BIND=true NO_SENDMAIL=true NO_VINUM=true NOATM=true NOINET6=true NOINFO=true NOSHARE=true PPP_NOSUID=true LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=no I'd rather not use NFS, for security reasons, so I've had to resort to ad-hoc shell scripts to do updates. It'd be nice to have something officially supported to replace them. My 2.30414 yen.
