Hi, I finally found a machine to install 2.2.5. A bit late for patches in -RELEASE, but these may help anyway. 1) sysinstall allows to enable quotacheck, but the GENERIC (and default) kernel does not have the QUOTA option. This option is useless. 2) sysinstall enables ypbind but does not set domainname or ypserver addres (to use with -Sdomain,server). Also, it does not change /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/host.conf (this last one I prefer not to change, anyway). ypbind is useless, so. 3) An option to configure the dumpdev could be useful. Also, auto selecting one swap file if it's bigger than the total amount of RAM is an option. Would this help or confuse the novice user ? 4) Last thing in sysinstall: A ^L to redraw the screen would be handy. :) 5) LINT is lacking the bktr device. Maybe others. 6) kernel VISUAL_USERCONFIG: Does not know bktr device. Shows as unknown. Maybe there are more. 7) packages: samba is in the packages-2.2.5 dir, but is not in the INDEX file. Again, more problems like this may exist. 8) (Not exactly FreeBSD) XFree86 3.3.1 now comes without the contrib binaries. I really liked to use xload and xbiff. Maybe these could be packages now, huh ? Jonny PS: Jordan, sysinstall is getting really good !!! -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 jonny@coppe.ufrj.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro UFRJ/COPPE/CISI PGP fingerprint: 29 C0 50 B9 B6 3E 58 F2 83 5F E3 26 BF 0F EA 67
