IIRC, OpenBSD still has their [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail account to collect hardware information. NYCBUG also has something similar: http://www.nycbug.org/index.php?NAV=dmesgd;SQLIMIT=20 I'm content with the post-install "Would you like to submit your information" question. I don't know why on Earth this script has to be put in periodic though. What am I missing? Adrian
