McGovern" Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, might as well throw in my two cents... Why not make a install menu tree similar to the source menu tree (ie - base, gnu, sys, et al), and include all of the add-ons (apache, perl, anonymous ftp config, pcnfsd, etc) that provide typical "extended network/development services" (which could therefore be a limiter to keep things like elm, pine, off the list)? This way, it would take these things off the post-install menu, and give a configuration that will allow a certain amount of flexibility. -Brian
