Has anyone done a survey to see if users think it does too much, or that they only use X % of its functionality? I think we need to be careful before ripping features out. Debian and Slackware both seem to have installers with the same feature set as sysinstall, so we need to watch out in case we put less experienced users off using FreeBSD by ending up with a very basic system they'll have trouble getting started with. -- Bruce Cran
