My ramblings were in no way intended as jab agaist BSD installation system. The fact of the matter is I have pointed a number of other groups to Freebsds installation as a model they should implement. With its single disk boot to the automatic dependancies it a wonder to behold. My thoughts were strictly a general direction I felt this project should be looking towards (from a users point of view) in the spirit of "click your shoes together and you'll be home" I know the feeling of a frustration when you sweat blood for days and have a person not knowledgable in your craft start pickin' on it. I have no experience in the construction of installation programs and with my limited intelligence probably never will. As of now FreeBSDs installation is probably the cleanest in the 'free' world. My comments were strictly directed to the general flow of conversation about grabbing the market place.
