Mike Makonnen has some very interesting ideas on this topic: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-December/081400.html FWIW, I think that there are 3 basic requirements for a new installer: 1. It should be library-based and therefore be capable of supporting at least a few different UIs (see above). 2. At least one of those UIs should be functional over a standard serial console. 3. It should be scriptable. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
