When this bug was first reported, I looked at a couple of fixes to it and found them to be generally icky, adding to sysinstall's global variable bloat (which I'd dearly love to remove) or otherwise further obfuscating code which is already too obfuscated as it is. It was on my TODO list to simply shoot the damn thing in the head. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
