That was me who suggested _that_. I still think that a graphical counterpart of sorts to sysinstall or its successor, (which you are writing right? ;-) ) is something, that would certianly add a little bit of polish to FBSD, and perhaps increase its userbase. While I'm kinda looking into something like that (whether it's Qt/KDE based or not), I'm not a very adept programmer, hence I'm not volunteering to write it (yet). > I was simply reacting to your implication (cited below) that KDE > shouldn't use it. - alex
