There are also tools in the ports tree (graphics/scr2png) if you need to convert to PNG format. scr2png < shot.scr > shot.png Most of the screenshots were taken post-installation. There are a few screens which have different content post-installation than during installation and those were edited with editors/hexedit to reflect the exact display at installation. A few of the screens were captured using the headless install technique described in the Handbook in "Advanced Installation" since those screens don't display when running Sysinstall after installation.
