We might want to ask people to Yea, if you "Restart" sysinstall, it is exec()ed with a -restart flag, so the program knows not to reload kernel modules and such. With these two wireless Ethernet device modules included, mfsroot.gz is 925,842 bytes. I believe the size was around 800k before I moved these two modules over. By using modules on the MFSROOT, we should be able to include more device support for 4.5 than we did for 4.4. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
