Maybe not "easier" but better: + Allow one to specify the partition letter, than assumeing `e'. + Allow one to specify the ordering of partitions that will be written. Alpha users keep getting bit in the ass because sysinstall orders the swap partition at the begining of the disk vs. after /. One cannot tell which order the partitions will be written to disk. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
