Yes - that works.  But you have to remember it.  I do this once every =
couple years.  Thats why sysinstall was useful.  I didn't have to =
remember either where I put the notes, or on the specific commands =
themselves.  I run a number of systems running FreeBSD because they are =
reliable, consistent, and I don't have to remember a ton of drivel.  =
Unfortunately, we have re-introduced some of that in this situation.
