Description Rebecca Cran freebsd_committer

bsdinstall(8) has an option to enable moused support. However, if it's _not_ selected, moused is still started through the configuration of nondefault devices. It might be nice to either have another option to disable nondefault devices, or have bsdinstall automatically add the moused_nondefault_enable="NO" setting to rc.conf unless moused support is selected.

    bsdinstall services: Improve mouse configuration

    bsdinstall(8) has an option to enable moused support.
    However, if it is not selected, moused is still started
    through the configuration of nondefault devices.
    So, automatically add the moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
    setting to rc.conf unless moused support is selected.
