If ``"newbie" features that "do it all"'' is supposed to include repartitioning the disk and moving around a Windows XP partition, and provdin a boot selector, you are going to have one hell of a time adding this feature to sysinstall. Even so, that won't keep a Windows 2000/XP recovery disk from stomping your FreeBSD out of existance, each time you use it. Some of the referenced article's "non-negotiable requirements" are bogus as all get out. -- Terry
