One thing that's been popping around my mind, but that I haven't 
mentioned because I lack the knowledge & skills to do, would be to 
create a program that would take care of translating some installation 
from macos to bsd.  For example, reading the information from the tcp 
control panel, and creating the appropriate configuration files on the 
bsd side.  I utterly failed at geetting the network to work the first 
time i installed several months ago; this time, the network howto made 
it trivial.  And it seems to me that there was another area which 
required the use of mac-side information, and some knowledge of unix, 
but now i forget what it was :(
