Hmmm. Gonna probably pass on that for this project :) As much as I would like to standardize I think I will do some combo of the nuageinit and some manual image modifications. Its too bad nuageinit oesnt have the ability to just run a script at install time as that would take care of a lot of things. Are there any plans to extend nuageinit in the future ? ---Mike --------------qMWhTLxYDbzAEtgu4Lpy5gEI Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 7/26/2024 9:59 AM, Dave Cottlehuber wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:337fe5a5-2af2-41a2-859d-c4a3df64eccf@app.fastmail.com"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap"> </span> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I guess the step I am missing is download the FreeBSD VM image file.
