I think the Changing the subject slightly, did anyone ever get around to sorting out a utility for adding an extra disk to an installed system? I've performed some rather brutal surgery on sysinstall and managed to cut out practically everything that's not related to configuring disks; what's left compiles and (as far as I can tell from some very cautious testing on my only disk) looks as though it can fdisk/disklabel without doing anything harmful. However, I think I've gone about as far as I can with my limited setup and it really needs someone with a spare disk (or even better, a spare machine) to knock it into shape. The main things that need doing are adding some code to newfs the disk, re-write the menus and of course give it a thorough testing. I don't think it would be very difficult to finish it off (and earn the eternal gratitude of multitudes of FreeBSD users 8-) Anyone interested? -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk jraynard@FreeBSD.ORG
