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.
