With a fresh install I noted you do not get the Q about swap/fs. I noted as well you get swap if you select "auto". I noted as well that if the sysinstall happens to find a swap area from a previous area it shows it as such, but will not use it without delete/create. Sysinstall is busted in other areas as well. "Select all" no-longer puts ticks in the boxes, if you tick each seperately it asks you every time if you want to install the ports, after every tick, and once again at the end. When I tried to configure an X-Server, it took me to the X-Client menu...sysinstall if that is posible has become more than a PITA than it always has been. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
