However, I have to say... you opened a can of worms by touching keymap. Eventually I plan to rewrite all of the scripts to the same format that zfsboot is using. I've already started rewriting keymap to the new format. Of course, this opened up another can of worms... the simple things like: DIALOG_OK DIALOG_CANCEL DIALOG_ESC I feel would be much better off in the `dialog.subr' module. So,... I've started peppering their usage everywhere in bsdconfig to make them "proper". That means they will just be transparent from including `dialog.subr'. > http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso.xz > > http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/zfsbootonly_2013-10-06.iso > Excellent, thanks! -- Devin P.S. I have to get apache installed on one of my jails to server you the video ;) I'll have a URL for you tomorrow morning. Trying to work through all the changes in keymap to get it upgraded. _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
