Just because you see things a certain way doesn't make them a fact.
It's your personal opinion and other people's mileage may vary.

Since you're a fbsd user from 2.x, certainly you're WAY beyond needing the i=
nstaller and just unpack the base system + kern + src + ports and install th=
em manually.

Refer my earlier post on the subject.

Perhaps if you're unhappy with the new installer you should have submitted f=
eedback about it before -RELEASE hit the road.


Last but not least I find your calling the new installer a "pos" highly disr=
espectful towards the people that invested time, energy and money in it.
