Ok, thanks. I'll go ahead with my 9.3 testing, involving a small patch to bsdconfig while generating the memstick image; in outline, bsdconfig only looks for local packages if the install media type is _detected_ as a CD, where that needs to apply to a) memsticks and b) other media types like a local disk partition if they include a package set as on the DVD. cheers, Ian
