Yeah, I think I even made a rough stab at this about 5 years ago in TCL - I got libdisk and libdialog "wrapped" for TCL access and a small main function written which brought up the first couple of sysinstall menus, but I rapidly ran out of time for it and was already creeped-out enough by libdialog that I didn't have the heart to pursue it using that particular UI solution. When can we see your own prototype, since you raised the topic last? :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
