It seems to me that it forces you into doing ext= ra steps that I was comfortable doing on my own. I really enjoyed the old = installer because then I had complete control over how I tweaked my compute= r during and after the install. I am surprised that there is no gui presen= t while installing FreeBSD because it feels more like Ubuntu or a windows i= nstall (somewhat). Please=2C please=2C please take this nightmare away and= bring the beloved installer that was before FreeBSD 9. Thank you for listening. Allan =
