You served us well for many years, but 10.0 is one > digit beyond your time. sysinstall had (at least) 2 primary purposes, installation, and post-install system configuration. The new installer is a good step towards the first goal, but we currently have nothing to fulfill the second role. For that reason I think this step is premature. One could also make the case that this is exactly the kind of disruptive change that the release engineer asked us not to do until the release is done, but I'll leave that to them to deal with. :) Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
