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?=3Dp3 CFLAGS=3D -O -pipe NO_RESCUE=3Dtrue NO_BLUETOOTH=3Dtrue NO_I4B=3Dtrue NO_IPFILTER=3Dtrue NO_KERBEROS=3Dtrue NO_LPR=3Dtrue NOGAMES=3Dtrue NO_BIND=3Dtrue NO_SENDMAIL=3Dtrue NO_VINUM=3Dtrue NOATM=3Dtrue NOINET6=3Dtrue NOINFO=3Dtrue NOSHARE=3Dtrue PPP_NOSUID=3Dtrue LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=3Dno 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.
