Thanks :) > If you user picks "no" you can just make a sentinal file (that expert = users can make be default if they are rolling their own releases). Yeah, that would be nice. We could also add a timeout of 3-5 seconds or something to the dialog = (that might be possible with some of the changes that dteske has done = with dpv?), so it proceeds on to the login prompt if not prompted so = non-interactive installs still work. Or we could formalize the non-interactive install process, but that = seems like a larger task because it would potentially require some = redesign of bsdinstall. --Apple-Mail=_2FCC12BF-9EAA-44A8-AA2F-5F9646F10FC5 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUpESfAAoJEMZr5QU6S73e8CkIAJge3RL7+n2zFvqmdDVpfyYq DrDjFYtrFsE8GCJs8AZudzxdR6GMKabt4CiNiO/hla/AaSz5iKFB2cvx1Vxr+JmO 6RbNlblAKNGFwUIgW5q9bx8592QDWeitOOAcKf6iFgAtPI4dQ+44+/f0MOUCNbBH MXQvnB6QHtQ9UckKi2mRwF0qDhhuAL0BRb7NQsNvOQUjy1QCDUaIORtpMQ9Ax4L0 qvp3hIYy4fRDRoYfHXk04FJ20OPj/jNDjrl2YpD8DQ4bdV/verV5ROeF+fqYupDE 6QZUxb/w0H5tKmXOTJdiZcGjiHx4i88WC7+bwESKUUsegK6SAAk18T/WPkdMU38= =5xo9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_2FCC12BF-9EAA-44A8-AA2F-5F9646F10FC5--
