The problem is that right now, everything is "word of mouth", except in the case of PC-BSD, and, I believe, DragonflyBSD ... someone, at one point, had suggested adding a prompt to sysinstall asking if ppl wanted to participate, and the response I heard was that someone basically needed to submit a patch ... anyone here know enough about sysinstall to do so? Not to make it an 'opt-out' sort of thing, but opt-in with some sort of visibility other then my posting these stats once a month .... - --On Friday, March 02, 2007 15:00:31 -0600 Doug Poland wrote: > On Fri, March 2, 2007 13:24, Marc G.
