I have been hearing about a new installer but I obviously have not payed enough attention, I am afraid. I started running freebsd at 2.0 and never really had a problem with understanding the installation program. There is always a first time, I guess. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201105/ When booting I seem to get a screen that makes me remember installer screens of the 1980s. (They were not exactly intuitive.) I somehow got the idea that the new installer was graphic. Maybe something like PCBsd that is not bad at all. I use it on all our employees computers. Actually, after seeing this, I would love to have the old installer back. Is their an option for that? Does this new ASCII installer have a "how to" with a bit of information on the flow of the installation. Thanks, ed P.D. The handbook does not seem to cover the installer I am seeing because it is 8.2. It shows what I would love to see. Maybe I need to install 8.2 and upgrade?
