Hi gang; Jordan has succeeded in making sysinstall useful for post install use...mostly :-). At least on my machine, when using the ftp method, sysinstall fails to "return to the top of the loop" when the list of packages to be installed exceed 1. if you ask it to install foo.tgz and bar.tgz and baz.tgz it never gets past the "install of foo.tgz completed" message. It never goes back to the list to start over with bar.tgz. Also, there is an outstanding bug that has lingered thru several revs of sysinstall ( circa 2.1? ). If one has selected ftp install and then realizes that one has made a mistake somewhere in the configuration of the net connection, sysinstall will catch a sig11 ( "sig11, stopping myself" ) once the ppp0 (or what have you) is reselected. happy to provide clarification for any one that needs or wants it... ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
