Argh. People keep making ports interactive for "security" reasons but then forget that interactive packages are not handled by sysinstall and should be marked IS_INTERACTIVE so that I can keep them off the CD. I'll remove the pine port from the final CD image, but this goes for any other ports which do the same thing. :-( - Jordan > Hello all, > > I tried the 4.2 beta ISO and found a problem with the pine package. > When installed from sysinstall, pine will attempt to warn about its > security issues and ask for confirmation.
