Improving installation performance

M

Mustela

Hello.

I know that the sysinstall tool is faster for selecting packages and for pre-configuring system, but:

Is possible supress the message "XXXXX was added successfully" when FreeBSD is installing a distribution package? A good choice is a new feature that the administrator could supress this slowly message, concretely 1 second per message that the machine don't work: 5 minutes paused installing 300 packages!!!

Thanks.
 
Don't install packages using sysinstall. Just install a clean system, update the ports tree and use # pkg_add -r <packagename>.

That whole sysinstall thing needs a complete overhaul. And AFAIK work is being done in this regard.
