Automating the WP install in a tidy fashion is close to impossible; I tried this with WP7. If you feed the installer keystrokes in order to tell it where to put things, the user can't select a printer. If you don't, there's no way to force the install location, so you can't build a PLIST. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
