irrelevant
>Description:
Installing a fresh machine with 4.4RC-1 iso.
The disklabel's [A]uto command automagically creates mount points.
1. Non of which has SoftUpdates on by default [beware the bikeshed]. 
2. No /tmp (or /var/tmp per tuning(7)).

something totaly different:
Why no snort in the packages from the ports tree?

No password validation when adding users?

When clicking "HTML documents" in the "Post Configuration" menu, lynx
is auto-installed. It whould be wiser, regarding lynx's long history of
security problems, to use other browser or at least get the user's confirmation.

On the "User Confirmation Requested" just before rebooting, i quote:
"Be sure to remove any floppies/CDROM from the drive". I can't remove
the CDROM as it's still mounted. How about "ejecting" it, or unmounting
on "yes" and giving the user 10-30 seconds to "eject the CDROM
manually"?

root password isn't set!!! I gave root password at the correct prompt,
but after the reboot I logged in with no "password:" prompt.
