The problem with not including bsdstats in sysinstall or some

forgotten and loses its effectiveness. What about a monthly (3
monthly, whatever) reminder saying what bsdstats is about and the
reasons for installing it. Maybe it could go in the monthly list
subscription reminder.

As part of the installation process, offer to add a crontab
entry?

The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in /etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ...

The latter two are doable, but havin to do a pkg_add seems to be the part that is being frowned on ...
