I've seen a few sysinst discussions in the past, but I haven't seen anyone bring http://www.bsdinstaller.org/ up. (I'm not saying it's a viable route for NetBSD, but I'm wondering if the people working on sysinst have taken a look at it). To sum up the things which appeal to me: - Scriptable (in lua, as a matter of fact) - Separated frontend and backend - It's been around for a few years, and appears to be stable enough to be adopted by other projects. As for problems, I assume it may be too "bloated" for some platforms. -- Kind regards, Jan Danielsson
