I'm not sure I qualify as an "experienced FreeBSD user", but although I almost certainly would not use the tool myself (I like to have some inkling of what programs are doing and why), I can see why others might want something like this. Myself, I'd like to see an improved installation tool to replace sysinstall, before we worry too much about a GUI kernel configuration tool, although if someone has a real bee in their bonnet to do the latter, I certainly wouldn't be inclined to stand in their way. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
