Please don't top post. Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as the default still installs over PXE, serial etc... (think rack mounted U1/U2 headless servers as yet another typical platform that a lot of us manage by the hundreds). However, there's no reason why this should be part of the official source tree. Use a port for optional kernel or bootloader stuff. IMHO, the easiest way to achieve this, would be to write a port that creates a custom ISO, with that (hypothetical) bells and whistles GUI installer/boot prompt and a custom kernel with your extension. Something like sysutils/freesbie port... sysutils/eyecandy perhaps? ;) Happy hacking. Cheers, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/Received on Sat Apr 30 2005 - 00:26:51 UTC
