Unfortunately this is > also the same version distributed worldwide on FreeBSD CDs, install At this stage, I'm ready to have two different CD products for international and domestic use. I can also ensure that the appropriate ISO images are made available from the US and internat.freebsd.org, along with the distribution bits. What we have now is sort of bordering on nightmarish. Sysinstall also isn't likely to do anything to change this until openssl becomes a "distribution" like the DES bits are. Depending on external packages is actually something I'm trying to wean sysinstall away from because the dependency is a PITA and the creation of the packages collection is not automated in the same way that distribution building is. To put it somewhat more succinctly, I won't be creating any more dependencies on external packages from sysinstall (where "external" is defined as anything not created by "make world"), so any solution which relies on sysinstall sucking in a package should not be entertained. The existing dependencies on things like linux_base and lynx are already enough of a pain as it is and I'd like to eliminate them at some point also. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
