Hi all, I was browsing the list of projects and ideas and stumbled upon one that's rather simple and which would have been useful in the past: Write the FreeBSD version at the top of the display (or somewhere similar visible) - so lazy users know what they are installing (version: release, stable, snapshot + arch: i386, amd64, etc) even when the CD is unlabeled. I'm changing the title of the Main menu using sysctlbyname to: "FreeBSD <kern.osrelease> <hw.machine_arch> - 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 If this is what is pretended I'll post the patch. -- Joao Barros
