I've also found interesting thread here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-June/123640.ht ml It seems that automatic installation mechanism is far from perfect and there's nobody=20 who interested in fixing the problems. BTW, I've just selected distSetMinimum and in this case kernel was istalled. But except of this a problem I found a new trouble: system commands which I've put in install.cfg=20 doesn't seems to be executed. It just stops with the error 'system -1 command not found'=20 or something like that. Even when the commands are pretty simple like this:=20 command=3D"/sbin/shutdown -p now" system It doesn't work and stops with the error. How about your commands? Can you show some examples of your install.cfg here if it works properly? :)
