I started working on translating LINT config file to SGML file and implementing the translator (using sgmls with DTD file) of this meta-config file to ordinary config files. I think this enables us to make automated config file generator tools like Linux's menuconfig and xconfig smartly. I think that the same approach can be used for automatic and semi-automatic system configuration tool for network and storage management. What do you think about it? (I'm planning to port sysinstall to X11 :-). I think it's not difficult to install FreeBSD from X interface like RedHat Linux) -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp hosokawa@jp.FreeBSD.org
