2011-10-06 Thread Thomas Mueller
cvsup is a port, so you would need to install that to have cvsup. csup and cvsup are totally different code bases in different languages. (csup is C and cvsup is Modula-3.) You probably want to install cvsup as a package as installing the port also requires building all of the Modula-3

Some more ideas on the new bsdinstaller cross my mind. Since the way the bsdinstaller would make partitions is unpredictable, at least to the uninitiated, and in all likelihood at variance with how much space the user wants to allocate, it might be better to offer a roadmap to help guide the

Actually, I think this kind of question is for the freebsd-current list, so I respond on that list. Problem with the old sysinstall is that sysinstall expects installation sets to be broken into 1392 KB chunks as opposed to a full .tgz, .tbz or .txz, or so I believe: I could be wrong. I
