This is senseless. >How-To-Repeat: repeatedly use /stand/sysinstall to edit configuration information. Look at the /etc/rc.conf file after a few edits. >Fix: Either have a "begin sysinstall edit 199903182201" line, then the changes, then "end sysinstall edit 199903182201" line, or have it check for the previous # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # line and append to the data after that. Neither way is ideal, but I have no better suggestions at the moment. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
