Hi, I'm working on scripting the buildworld/installworld process. This will keep me from messing up everything by doing it wrong or making a typo. I'll be glad to post the scripts for review if anyone's interested. Right now, I have a couple of questions. 1. I realize that running buildworld/installworld manually might be better than scripting it, as far as dealing with stops and/or errors, but is it generally acceptable to script this process? I can't think of any reason not to, but I'd like some input. 2. After reading man mergemaster, I see that the -a flag will run mergemaster automatically and leave any new files in /var/tmp/temproot. I'd like to confirm that if I opt to run mergemaster -a, then I should check/merge any files before leaving single user mode. It seems like the right thing to do...? Thanks, Charles
