Nathan,

I took at look at this page:

http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Creating_an_Automated_Installation_with_pc-sysinstall

and compared it to the man page for sysinstall:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysinstall&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html


pc-sysinstall pretty much does all of the same stuff as sysinstall,
and even many of the variable names are the same.  pc-sysinstall
seems far superior to sysinstall.

In the timeframe before 10.0, do you think it is worth doing the following:

(1)  import pc-sysinstall into FreeBSD
(2)  make pc-sysinstall compatible with all the variables from the

*or* if it is not worth doing (2)

(3)  provide a document somewhere that guides users in migrating their
      old install.cfg syntax to pc-sysinstall (or bsdinstall).

bsdinstall and pc-sysinstall are really good improvements!
