Well, i checked out /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf i would like to port my controlpanel from GNU/Linux to FreeBSD is this possibile? I did developed a lot of script to configure a lot of system settings but in GNU/Linux you have 364376 different distributions that are all different, i tried to develop my own but seems that common system components like GNU libc change each 5 minutes and does not seems more stable. I toughta it would be a nice idea to port my work under FreeBSD because i feel it more stable and reliable then GNU/Linux what do you think about having an "additional" controlpanel to do system configuration (mouse,keyboard,network,X11,postfix,etc.) ??? I firstly developed everything using cdialog but them are very buggy togheter with somebody i did developed "libgringo" that is a generic library that interface both ncurses and Gtk (depending how you compiled it) and allow you to write script that can run both in console both in X-Window. I would like to know if you think that is usefull or not to do this job or if there are more urgents work to do upon the FreeBSD distribution/ installation process. I've wasted 4 years trying to create my personalized GNU/Linux distribution and i'm tired of to remake each time the same job.
