You can easily script the sysinstall and create an install.cfg and personalize the installation including packages, config files, users to add, etc. It is a bit tricky but it is enough powerfll for your needs I think so. So first try a mfsroot file. Then mount it on your machine mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 -f /path/to/mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/mfs In /mnt/mfs then you have to create install.cfg there is an example of that file somewhere on your disk, don't remember anymore. Then put back the mfsroot in /your/disk/to/burn/boot/ Then mkisofs it and cdrecord it etc. And that's all. Another solution is to set up a installation server. This is also covered by sysinstall. A nice howto is situated at http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml. What else. If you really need to put in on a cd you can probably use an emulator like qemu to see if things work before burn etc.. good luck=20 Ivo On 8/25/05, Damon Blom wrote: > Hi > I have a current-freebsd 7.0 amd64 system on my Presario 3000.
