If not (or you want >to improve it) then go for it. What I might want to do is make it specific to FreeBSD and the sysinstall utility, and perhaps even incorporate it into the FAQ or handbook if those who control such things agree. My only concern is the changes that may be made to the install procedures between now and October 15, what with two new releases in the works (both of which I plan to install). I may wait until then before attempting the project. -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
