[ .. Keith bcc'd rather than cc'd in order to prevent him from being
dragged through the rest of this thread ..]

OK, so then it's:

BSDI, FreeBSD
OpenBSD, NetBSD

That still doesn't equal much more than an undesirable split, even if
you try and lump OpenBSD and NetBSD together.  Maybe we should ask
Keith if they want to add the -d option to install in BSD/OS 2.2? ;-)
