In the timeframe before 10.0, do you think it is worth doing the following: (1) import pc-sysinstall into FreeBSD (2) make pc-sysinstall compatible with all the variables from the *or* if it is not worth doing (2) (3) provide a document somewhere that guides users in migrating their old install.cfg syntax to pc-sysinstall (or bsdinstall). bsdinstall and pc-sysinstall are really good improvements! -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
