Dunno. I agree, it's unexpected. Perhaps we should change that. There are several bits of interoperability bogosity between the two, actually, and probably a result of the bad splice job I did. > - Why does the default FreeBSD file system layout place /var in its own > filesystem?

That information isn't associated with the distributions anywhere. I was hoping that this might come out of the package/distribution unification and more powerful package toolset. > - I pondered some of the "Do you wnat option enabled?" screens. > Was it going to do more than just set the right sysconfig option? Hmm... Basically, yeah. These little "configlettes" need to be beaten on some more and made more robust. The samba one, for example, doesn't edit the requisite things into /etc/inetd.conf, nor did it even add the Samba package until I whapped that in as a last-minute bonus. The gated configuration is hollow, the web server needs some sample pages, I could go on. Yes, these all need fixing. > Congratulations on a fine install! Double sigh.. Maybe that was my "gratuliere" showing through.. :-) Jordan
