Hello Everyone,

First I’d like to start off saying that my intention is not to spam or anything like such. I am curious for some feed back from the FreeBSD community however. I’ve began a small development project several months ago for FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. The project was a post install program that would automatically perform as many of the post install task that I could find.

A few weeks ago I’ve been able to start on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and am currently doing final testing to release a stable version of the project. The project consists of a set of scripts that install needed programs like cvsup, portupgrade; and then run them. Then does build world, build kernel, install kernel, and install world. We included several prewritten files that allow this process to run continually without problems.

The purpose for writing starting this project was because I’ve found that there was a lot of the post install steps I was missing or didn’t understand how to do because the documentation wasn’t written clearly enough for my understanding and figured I wasn’t alone.

What I ask of the community is if they can offer any suggestions or ideas of things I can add or change from the scripts. And if anyone was willing to do testing on any boxes they have lying around or whatnot. I thank you for your time.
