The story so far ...
sysinstall was removed from HEAD in October. I (and others) objected
on
the basis that at this time there is no replacement for the post-
install
configuration role that sysinstall played. More sysinstall components
were then removed. Then the old version of libdialog (which sysinstall
used) was removed. Thus at this point it's not possible to easily
restore sysinstall.
So my question is, how much do you care? Is lack of that functionality
in HEAD something that we care about?

Hi Doug,
I do agree that it would be nice to have a post-install configuration
utility. However, I think it might be better served with a separate
tool, rather than a swiss army knife that sysinstall was. If someone
is willing to do the work, I think a suitable replacement could be
written in sh+dialog, along the lines of bsdinstall. That being said,
I remove myself from the nomination pool.
