(i like the blue and other colour-scheme from the old install better :) so.. i hope that this feedback will be read, and i'm curious what other people's experiences are here are some more urls : http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/BSDInstaller http://www.bsdinstaller.org/ -- grtjs, albi gpg-key: lynx -dump http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc | gpg --import
