Hey Bruce,

>From my vague recollection, we discussed improving bsdinstall by tying
it in with pc-sysinstall, which we've been threatening to do for at
least a year. Also, there was much discussion about Devin's bsdconfig
perhaps tying in with a Google SoC Project.

I think Devin was nominated for most of the work, since he was unable
to defend himself :P

Cheers,
