Actually, /stand/sysinstall is also useful as a post-install configuration utility. Simply choose 'Configure' from the main menu. For example, to configure network interfaces, choose 'Configure' -> 'Network' -> 'Interfaces' to setup a network interface. sysinstall will intelligently edit /etc/rc.conf for you. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
