This was discussed on the freebsd-sysinstall list last month: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sysinstall/2010-June/000012.html My personal feeling was that since the level of interest in sysinstall from FreeBSD developers was generally low, this would be sufficient, so I told randi to go ahead and commit without also adding noise to -arch; but if you think the freebsd-sysinstall list is insufficient I'll get her to back this out pending discussion on -arch. > I just used this > feature yesterday to repair my -CURRENT installation on a netbook with > an USB snapshot image.

But a more *sensual* message is probably not necessary. :-) -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
