There _is_ a new next-gen installation program in the works for FreeBSD, but (like so many other open-source projects) it will only get done if people work on it. Recently, there hasn't been much interest in it. http://www.freebsd.org/projects/libh.html If you feel strongly about improving the installer, join the project, encourage others to join, and consider sponsoring a developer to get some headway made on it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
