After resolving my IRQ brain-damage and geometry brain-damage, I'm 
pleased to say my box is galumphing along nicely. I've done dozens of 
these installs before, I don't know why I didn't notice.

My compliments on a nice install procedure, I really like being able to 
select all the options up front, then turn it loose.


o Is it possible to do the configuration as well, such that when the 
software is downloaded, the new /etc files can be generated and the 
machine rebooted post-haste?

o If I remember correctly (this may be a 2.0.5-ism, I tried both), the 
Time Zone selection is tedious, as the list in North and South America is 
long and boring to scroll through.

o Can potential geometry problems be noted up front?  ie, I never have 
had a BSD/OS install fail because of geometry (and in fact ran it on this 
box, although a different (but identical) 1GB disk).  BSD/OS does some 
kind of thing where they report the real geometry of the drive, and the 
BIOS geometry.  Perhaps that could be done here.

Nice work boys and girls.
