currently that's difficult because every package has to be in a set, but we could fix that. the non-pkgbase bsdinstall process would then be something like: - install FreeBSD-set-base - install FreeBSD-etcupdate-bootstrap - depending on what the etcupdate package actually includes, possibly copy = the bootstrap files into the actual database - delete /var/db/pkg - delete the bootstrap files (assuming we decide to copy them into place fr= om the package) this could all be handled automatically by bsdinstall when the user selects= a non-pkgbase installation. does this seem like a reasonable approach, or have i completely misundersto= od the problem here? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
