No problem, I was just thinking maybe I had not looked hard enough through
the documentation.

Some of us install lots of systems and have a preference leaning towards
identical systems...  this sounds like a useful mechanism, but I could
not at the time make enough of the hints in the source code to use it.
That is okay because sysinstall is pretty cool to begin with.  Certainly
I prefer it to the Solaris install!

Thanks,
