But new users... that clearly will confuse them. If there were one area to focus on, I'd say that's the one. It's a tough one though because the people that work on that probably also haven't seen a n00b sitting in front of it in some time and anyone that uses sysinstall regularly has "patched" it in their head. That said, for a quick "I don't want to read anything I just want to jam the CD in and get it installed" tool, I think the PC-BSD installer is outstanding.
