Yes, of course, I didn't realize the installer environment was the only thing you evaluated. bsd.rd install kernel is not meant for troubleshooting/testing or administrative use. It _is_not_ a "live cd" or live environment meant for doing anything other than installing the system. Thanks for

Hi Steven, OpenBSD does indeed come with perl, as its package managegment system, "pkg_add" is written pretty much entirely in perl. Perl is a first class citizens over at OpenBSD. I do believe it is also in the base system of FreeBSD as well. Cheers, Jordan Geoghegan On 03/23/18 22:07, S
