some weeks ago there was an announcement which mentioned the new BSDinstaller Beta2, which pointed to to this url : http://meonstuff.blogspot.com/ i've downloaded the iso and tried it, and i started to realise how much i like the current FreeBSD installer what i miss in the beta2 of the BSDinstaller for FreeBSD is the following : - change console-font - set keyboard speed but much much more important : - there's no auto-defaults for partitioning - there's not the nice option to correct the disc-geometry - there are no post-install options afair on top of this the partitioning-process itself was very confusing... later i've tried dragonflyBSD (when i read that it's already using BSDinstaller), and the partitioning-process was not confusing at all also, the initial start-up colour reminded me very much of an MS-WindowsNT install, is this done on purpose for some reason ? (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
