no, it is not about porting it, but the command line logic and functionality. we do have format, fdisk, prtvtoc, fmthard, all doing some subset of tasks and even if you can feed some input data, the customization would need awk/sed and fancy scripting:D See /bin/usbgen for example;) rgds, toomas _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
