Not to fan the flames, but has anyone ever considered converting Slackware's
installation program to FreeBSD.  Though I prefer FreeBSD (slightly) to
Linux, I must admit that I find Slackware much easier to install coming from
my non-technical standpoint.  (Which probably has most of you asking why I'm
on the list anyway.)  Slackware usually sets up good defaults based on the
input from the menu-driven installation, whereas FreeBSD requires more
tweaking after installation.

Thanks,
