LibH or Anaconda ??

   I migrate from imgaolong at yahoo.com.cn to urgaolong at yahoo.com for the trouble of gb2312 coding.
 
   Well, most code in anaconda is just a matter of scripts running on virtual-machine-like python . Pure scripts can be run on python of native FreeBSD almost without any modification , which setup the local X window system, dealing with input/output configuration data, and package installing etc . Not the C codes , after all , as the python can be embedded with C codes. That is why we rewrite the GUI partitioning tools'  C codes. We patched in it the code from sysinstall , to partition the hard disk in a BSD slice manner.

   The only thing I thought about anaconda for a native FreeBSD install is that , shall we package an entire FreeBSD into RPM packages?:)While the rpm need a recompile if we are not to use linux.ko.Or we will have to invent a different one?
