However, I have to say... you opened a can of worms by touching keymap. Eventually I plan to rewrite all of the scripts to the same format that zfs= boot is using. I've already started rewriting keymap to the new format. Of cours= e, this opened up another can of worms... the simple things like: DIALOG_OK DIALOG_CANCEL DIALOG_ESC I feel would be much better off in the `dialog.subr' module. So,... I've st= arted peppering their usage everywhere in bsdconfig to make them "proper". That means they will just be transparent from including `dialog.subr'. > http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso.xz >=20 > http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso >=20 Excellent, thanks! --=20 Devin P.S. I have to get apache installed on one of my jails to server you the vi= deo ;) I'll have a URL for you tomorrow morning. Trying to work through all the ch= anges in keymap to get it upgraded. _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
