Bug 19424

Summary:	/stand/sysinstall wrongly changes /etc/make.conf
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	matt <matt>

Description matt 2000-06-21 22:50:00 UTC

If one sets USA_RESIDENT=YES in /etc/make.conf and then runs sysinstall at
any point thereafter, USA_RESIDENT is set to a value of "NO". It is not a
requiremen that anything be done in /stand/sysinstall to produce this, simply
starting sysinstall and immediately exiting causes this problem.

Fix: 

I'm not aware of a fix for this problem. I suspect it would be a matter
of making sysinstall scan /etc/make.conf and suck in the USA_RESIDENT
variable instead of setting it to NO.
How-To-Repeat: 
Place USA_RESIDENT=YES into /etc/make.conf and then run /stand/sysinstall
and check the value of USA_RESIDENT after you exist sysinstall. It will be
changed to "NO".
