It basically hangs up the install pretty good otherwise. :( > Perhaps sysinstall should be fixed? If that is not possible, we can It's not sysinstall - it's pkg_add taking stdin from a pipe in slave mode. Even if the I/O were to occur over on VTY1, you couldn't provide input to the dialogs. The I/O simply needs to be suppressed, as Steve's patch supposedly does (I haven't had the chance to really look at what those environment variables do yet), or pkg_add needs to reopen a controlling tty before the post-install scripts are run. The former "solution" might happen before 4.2 if it really does the job, but certainly not the latter. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
