However,=20 even if it is possible it certainly would be overly complicated, and does=20 not make any sense. If you somehow cannot use the default FreeBSD installer, you can instead=20 just enter in the shell, and do the process manually using the same media. The only assistance you would need from a thirdy party would be to make the=20= choice of the shell instead of the installer. However there are just three=20= options, and you could indeed find the righ one (shell) by trial and error. Best regards. LBdM.
