Okay, fair enough... Maybe a good idea to ask the user when in Experienced/Custom installation mode if he/she want's to use SOFTUPDATES for the filesystems its going to newfs or not.. It's no big deal.. But I just noticed a few days after my installation, that I had to goto single user mode to tunefs my system...
