Ok, well I just did an install of the Oct 4th 4.1.1 SNAP and never came across anything prominent enough to catch my attention, I'm not asking for or anything, but as someone hurrying through the 'custom' install, I didn't see squat. If it could be more prominetly asked then I don't see the point of continuing this discussion any further until patches are sent in. If Jordan catches this, I'm not flaming sysinstall, I'm flaming the people attacking each other when a much simpler compromise/solution is easily accomplished with a bit of elbow grease. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
