You served us well for many years, but 10.0 is o= ne > =A0digit beyond your time. Hi, Wow, finally someone brave enough to put the stake through the heart of sysinstall. :) In the sysinstall man page, the "SCRIPT SYNTAX" documents how to create a script file which can be passed as an argument to sysinstall so that instead of running in an interactive menu system, installation/configuration commands are run in batch mode. I have seen some places write customized FreeBSD installers use this feature for doing unattended customized installs of FreeBSD. Can bsdinstall be used as a drop-in replacement for sysinstall when run with the "SCRIPT SYNTAX" batch mode? If not, how much code would need to be added to bsdinstall? Or, is there some other utility, such as something from the PC-BSD suite of scripts, that can be used as a drop-in replacement for sysinstall in "SCRIPT SYNTAX" mode? Thanks. --=20 Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
