see, imo our i386/amd64 fdisk is far from optimal, very far. isn't it nice that it is easily circumvented by accepting the default "whole disk"? :) seriously, since I never ever do multibooting and always use the whole disk for OpenBSD, there is no incentive to improve fdisk for me. and obviously it is the same for the other developers. if you don't like that, you are free to work on that yourself and submit a patch. that is simply how volunteer based projects work, wether you like it or not. > Well as you guys can see installing openbsd is a bit complicated > for newbies like me careful. please note that the complications you described are direct consequences of chosing a multiboot setup. > and I got thing done as I could. yup. multiboot is complicated, and i believe we provide enough documentation to master it. > Can the installer improve? hell, yes! I want to install right onto softraid. and guess what, I'm certain that'll happen rather sooner than later. > Yes. Is it a technical challenge to implement further assistance? "are you sure" style questions are certainly not "further assistance" but rather annoying for most. and won't protect against pressing enter "to scroll up". -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services.
