Hi Greg, I had some initial problems with it, but it's fine now. Problem 1: It failed to install over FTP onto a machine with only 8MB of RAM. Other users on this list have also seen this problem. More than 8MB and it's OK Problem 2: The settings you make in the userconfig program are not reloaded next time you boot. It's a simple matter to edit the /boot/loader.rc to pull in the userconfig script. That's it. Everything else seems fine, and I am happy with it.
