:) I didn't mean to hijack either, was trying to discuss advantage of
having backend
as a executable vs a library which can't be used standalone without
front-end.
This would in effect lock you completely into front-end logic, which may
not meet
a users specific needs, even though backend can do what user wants.
This has a few advantages, in that the backend can be used stand-alone
for scripted installations and also provide great flexibility
to the front-end developer. They don't need to worry about performing
any of the actual installation logic, they just provide a way
for users to select their installation options, generate a configuration
script, and let the backend run with it.
scripted installation!
Are you able to do a pxeboot, nfsroot and then scripted installation?
Are those scripts portable to FreeBSD or PC-BSD only?
Could you give me a hint where to find them?
TIA,
Marian
Correct, every install it does is a fully-scripted installation, and
it can be used with pxeboot, or in a custom mfsroot image easily.
Supports ZFS, glabel, gmirror, geli, GPT, gpart, vanilla FreeBSD
installs, etc.

Checkout examples/README for all the gory details of config-file
generation.
One caveat, the version in trunk is being very actively worked on by
myself at the
moment to prepare for 8.1, needs more docs, etc ;)
