I'm more critical than most of the practice of blindly following "the "established
way" of doing most things, however the only problem I've had with FreeBSD installation is with doing it from floppies (never could get that to work) but I've never had any problem with CD installs. I'm not totally impressed with the /stand/sysinstall setup, but I feel some more explicit instructions (including screen dumps) is all thats needed to make it easier for newbies while not upsetting the status quo for those more experienced users who thrive on complexity.
Although I believe that the current /stand/sysinstall
is sufficent enough for installing FreeBSD, do you
guys think it would be a good idea to offer an option
for an almost fully automated installation. (For newbies,
mostly. I could still remember my frist installation...
although it was not an nightmare or anything, but it was
relativly complicated... of course, after the first succesful
one, everything is fine : )
I have heard from serveral of my friends that they
tend to like Red Hat Linux's installation much better
since it basically does everything for you. Perhaps this
way our installation would be a bit "userfriendlier" :)
just an suggestion.
