However, the resulting work looks less polished that what was had previously. In particular, the disk partitioning menus, when using a custom install, aren't always showing the 'X' in the appropriate space. In addition, menu options that don't have check boxes seem to have them 'ghosted', and the way the refreshes are being done, you can really see them. It looks, well, poor :\ I also just had an incident when leaving the custom distributions install screen (ie - bin, compat, etc...) that it jumped back one level too far. Rather than going to the custom install menu (with options, partitions, etc), it went all the way back to the type of install I wanted to do. I had to select "custom" again, which brought me to the distribution menu again. It cycled this way 3-4 times before it finally let me back to the middle layer. I'll have to go back and play with it some more to make sure I'm not smoking crack, but I think there may be some things we want to improve before we go -RELEASE with 4.4 -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
