It should be.  It was broken on 12.3R and presumably before, due to a bad=
 symlink on the dvd1.iso, and needing so far three patches to bsdconfig, =
if hoping to use that.

Once fixed, it's a useful dialog(1) based interface to the included pkg r=
epo, reminiscent of sysinstall in its heyday, if you like KDE 5 or Gnome =
on top of your Xorg.

For much too long a story on getting that working, see
https:=
//forums.freebsd.org/threads/installing-freebsd-12-3-from-dvd1-usb-withou=
t-network.84838/

I've yet to find out if it's been fixed on 13, and I'm still _slightly_ h=
opeful of getting some committer help in fixing it for 12.4, which enters=
 code slush in a week.
