I'm changing the title of the Main menu using sysctlbyname to: "FreeBSD - sysinstall Main Menu" The result would be: "FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT i386 - sysinstall Main Menu" Screenshot of the result: http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/980/sysintall17vv.png >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: See patch: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0661311001/sysinstall.patch >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
