The hope is that it will be feature complete in time for = FreeBSD 9.0 release. It's lua based. Looks great according to the screenshots (and = probably in better shape than the proposed prototype by folks with = pc-sysinstall with the web interface), but it ain't gonna happen unless = core/other folks central to the project agree to adding another = interpreted language in to base. I doubt that it would be a drop in = place working prototype though given that geom is a lot different = between DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD. Feel free to prove me wrong :). Thanks, -Garrett=
