I second that. It's the biggest thing we can put in a floppy. But, if works on a new installer are needed, this must be neccesary: sysinstall is only the most user related thing of and overall process. I think this must begin with taking /usr/src/release out of /usr/src and work on a new release build system. Also, I can remenber, al last, other previous try. Please, use a safe path. As a reference, Mandrake Drakx is accesible via cvs (but gpl). http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/drakx.php3 As anaconda (which use python instead of perl) is an installer working from a system interpreter in a big mdfs. works over perlgtk2 and a vesa X server. This may be used in FreeBSD for cdrom/pxe installs > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
