>Description:
The bsdinstall has absolutely no help information available.
One of the most complained about deficiencies of sysinstall is 
its lack of help information.
Do not want to see this mistake made again with bsdinstall.

Bsdinstall is a dialog run system and dialog was purposely used 
for ease of making corrections and additions.

This is the time for the original author who has the inside 
knowledge of the logic flow to add (help) dialog info boxes 
to describe the bsdinstall install function flow.

This is not a joke, but a serious requirement that needs to be added.
