Well, this will always be an issue if you support a long list of h/w. But basically you want to be able to get enough modules to run install. That means base platform, VGA/KBD, Serial Port I/O, UFS && CD9660 && NFS, Mass Storage drivers, and 'simple' Network drivers. There's a lot of stuff in addition to this that does *not* need to be in the install set. The 'installation' medium may just be floppy. Let's not require folks to have to have a CDROM present and attached. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
