Admittedly, the `bsdconfig networking` stuff is quite nice >=20 *nods* I took a look at the bsdinstall networking stuff, and I wanted to run away. Let's push that into the future. It wasn't too hard to get those global exit codes deployed, so I did that, but like you say... I agree we should minimize "extra work" that will be eventually slated for a future release. --=20 Devin >>> http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso.xz >>>=20 >>> http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso >>>=20 >> Excellent, thanks! >=20 >=20 > --=20 > Allan Jude >=20 > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
