Let's define obscure from a FreeBSD user's point of view: It's not something in FreeBSD. Second, i don't want to do a search, i want a URL that leads me directly too it, i shouldn't have to wade through pages and pages of garbage just to research an answer for someone else. What i'm asking if for people to meet me somewhere halfway, perhaps even quarter of the way there. Now about the "quick install", we just did something like this at freebsdcon by using rsync to sync system together. You can also do a make-world server, the procedure is explained here: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html specifically: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html#TOC-607 enjoy, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
