In both cases after = the completion of the install and rebooting, the bsdinstall scripts = still remain on the new installed system. If I interpret the code logic = correctly, bsdinstall can ONLY be used for an original install. It's not = intended by design to be used any other time, unlike sysinstall. I think = the "auto" script should have code added to remove all traces of the = bsdinstall environment at the conclusion of the install. This way = bsdinstall fulfills the original design goals and guarantees no one can = exec it by accident and kill there running system. The binary is installed by default, but there it isn't run at startup. If it is being run then I would expect you are booting off your install = media again by accident. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
