I know, and I know why it's happening (it's actually probably not what you think). In setting out to fix it, however, I needed to started modularizing certain parts of sysinstall which are poorly modularized and, after going about 2 days into that work, I realized that I was effectively duplicating the work I already had going in parallel with "setup", so I canned the sysinstall hacking and went back to setup with a greater committment to getting it to BETA status, where one could actually install a system with it. I'll make no predictions, but I can say that it's my #1 project at the moment. Jordan
