Yes it's my serious wish that FreeBSD doesn't follow the trend of most (linux-) distributors and makes a GUI-Installation-Menu with a minimal installation of 500mb. I agree, that sendmail shouldn't be installed by default. A minimalistic design improves the security and makes the system easier to administrate.
