It sould like Andreas has already made a start, and it just needs a little polishing to turn into into something dialog based. PLEASE! If everyone could just start including a simple "install.sh" script meant to be run by total novices, we could start REALLY making this whole install thing hang together in a way that's truly EASY to use! Remember that a novice isn't just a newbie, it's somebody who is new to FreeBSD. This includes serious hackers who are simply too busy to learn how to set up their printer "the FreeBSD way" and would much rather just click a button, get it over with and then go on to their REAL work. I'm rather annoyed with people who see this as "dumbing down" FreeBSD when it's really just making it much less of a pain in the ass to set up! :-) Jordan
