Gentlemen,
I am absolutely stupefied by apache22, php5, php5-extensions and

I did manage to do one installation on a freshly upgraded box from 7.2

I have heard that there is an alternative to flash that is apparently

I would like to just partition, label and newfs the disk; livefs wants
to waste my time by installing other stuff like the kernel & man pages
etc that I have not even selected; and if I use postinstall
configuration, that doesn't do anything. Or should I use fixit and then
do the manual thing?

Gentlemen,
I have not had a chance to thank you for your very helpful suggestions.
I have tried to follow them as well as possible and I cerainly am
grateful for your input.
It has taken me some time to prepare for a cloning of an existing 7.2 sytem.
Now that I have everything running smoothly with
I'm having a bit of a time with the calendar.sh script I found on the

It should have brackets around the current date, but I can't figure out
what is not functioning correctly:

cal | awk 'NR>2' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] /& /g' -e 's/..*/
Maybe this is what I really need since I want to set up 3 identical 7.2
computers and back them up and update as needed. This should assure a
minimum of headaches like what I have been experienceg lately.
