than we have to add all the other network stuff as mentioned before. You surely do not want to say no to dozens of network questions (and maybe a lot of other stuff) This would make sense if you have any kind of graphical installer like many linux distros have, but the openbsd installer is just straight forward to get a minimal running system, which you configure afterwards. One power of OpenBSD is that you can configure everything with a text editor as interface to your configuration. You do not need any awkward program to configure anything. And during installation you are always allowed to change to a shell and use vi to edit your config files. guido
