Thanks, Anton. I understood from Stuart how to find old web versions. It's good to know. I started with OpenBSD at 3.6 or 3.7 and installed everything until around 5.2. I still have two boxes running 5.X, they just work and they're not internet-facing so they'll run until they die. But it seems like there was a lot more info in the FAQ in those days. Now I find it more difficult to get info. > Ideally, the auto partition could have templates, for the cases you > have. I think this is a good idea but I guess a lot of people will bang you on the head for suggesting it ;) I don't know that I have ever seen the one-size fits all approach work in any installer I have used, so I think templates make sense. Let the flames begin... Thanks for the other links. I will read all the stuff you and the other guys have pointed me at. /jl
