Without specifying a mechanism, I agree that providing a menu would be good. I don't think it should time out. Certain other OS installers provide a menu of optional software to select (or not), even including sshd. In the case I'm thinking of, there is one such menu, but it would be nice to support menus by group, and for example, allowing at most one selection in a category. Hopefully this would not turn into a long series of menus, but selecting an MTA up front would be good. > Ports/packages are just as much FreeBSD as base is. That's not quite true yet; all of base is installed, and packages take an extra step now. Mike
