I can't find that possibility in the later 2.1 releases. Have I missed something? It has also been very difficult to find information about syntax in the configuration file (freebsd.cfg). I have a number of clients that we reinstall every other week. It would be very helpful it this feature could be used. /Johan -- ------------------------------------------------ Johan Nilsson Email: johan@netman.se Network Management AB Voice: +46 8 720 53 90 Box 38117 Mobile: +46 708 17 31 76 S-100 64 Stockholm Fax: +46 8 720 53 92 M.
