Hi,

Regardless of that fact here comes my rather naive question:

I can do that. All I have to do is read in the file to a buffer until it
gets to a section separated by a space and includes commas and writing a
new buffer with ",softdep added to it. Easy Peasy!

Can we see your patch?
1. Maybe it doesn't have to be done in JavaScript; even partially, like
part of the installer is running fdisk. It would be very easy to write a C
program to parse and edit fstab to make all the partitions softdep. I
wouldn't know how to automate a disklabel call in the way that

Means in short, you like lynx. There was a long discussion at misc@
why lynx was removed from the base system. See

I don't know the best way, but I like how there are "check-boxes", from
what I recall, in lynx webpages. Maybe full-disk encryption and maybe home
folder encryption if it is available are the only remaining installer
options that you don't have to have prior specialized knowledge to perform,
