Anyways, Jordan, I can imagine that this might be a new setting for /stand/sysinstall? I mean, some new option which is dependant on XFree and which allows one to pick a desktop (which would still be a package or port I guess). It would make it easier on newbies (in fact it could be made a novice install option only as the rest of us know, ahum =), what to do). On a sidenote, /stand/sysinstall is documented in the source I guess and nowhere else? =) --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven It's a Dance of Energy, asmodai(at)wxs.nl when the Mind goes Binary...
