I find that sufficiently implausible that I'd have to see it to believe it.
FreeBSD, in particular, cannot be installed by persons with no knowledge of
IT.  Even installation of NT/2000 server requires that much.

If it is provided as an integral part of the complete installation package,
no, it would not count as outside assistance.  Outside assistance means
having to ask someone questions or asking for intervention during the
process.
