Really _that_ old? I have to admit that I never really _knew_
about sade, and that is has been mentioned to me when I was
already using FreeBSD 8.x, so my memory can be "distorted" in
this regards. Out of lazyness, I've been using the corresponding
functionality of sysinstall - formerly also known as
/stand/sysinstall :-) - to access what sade can also do.
