Hey Bruce, >From my vague recollection, we discussed improving bsdinstall by tying it in with pc-sysinstall, which we've been threatening to do for at least a year. Also, there was much discussion about Devin's bsdconfig perhaps tying in with a Google SoC Project. I think Devin was nominated for most of the work, since he was unable to defend himself :P Cheers, -matt
