So we are back to: o breaking the base system into packages, o either pre-installed with package alternatives to allow deinstall and reinstall, OR o we are into seperately packaging all mail servers, picking the current one as default, and hacking the heck out of sysinstall to make sure there's a seperate choice item to get one installed ...all so that programs that require the ability to send local mail, many of them base systems components, can function. That's what I said in the first place. So we are agreed. The correct mailing lists for this discussion are config@freebsd.org and install@freebsd.org. I've set followups to config@freebsd.org to indicate my own bias and the total lack of space for more sysinstall code on the install floppy... -- Terry
