> http://cr.yp.to/unix/t40.html discusses both Linux and FreeBSD.

>From the FreeBSD installation log:

"Before the installation menu, I had to click on something saying that I was
sure I didn't need to configure the kernel. (This is the sort of thing that
frightens new users unnecessarily. It should be replaced with ``Press Y in
the next three seconds if you want to configure the kernel.'')"

Not a bad idea at all. Perhaps a little more time though, say 5 seconds?
Maybe some coder shoud look into this.
