Hi,
As a big fan (and paying subscriber)
Interesting-- I wasn't aware that the FreeBSD project had a paid

Indeed, I fear my dues may be late.
...of FreeBSD it pains me to ask this question: When are you going
to build
a modern installer for FreeBSD?
I looked at the list of projects and didn't see it there ... did
I miss something?
If you're asking for an installer which requires bitmapped graphics
and won't work over a serial terminal or the like, well, I hope the
answer is never. Some people have tried before and/or might still be
working on a replacement, but thus far, nobody has written one which
is widely regarded as better than sysinstall.
Once upon time, there was a Summer of Code projects set to develop a
graphical installer for FBSD 7.x. I don't know what happened to it, but
also agree there is no need for such a thing. Sysinstall may appear
intimidating but it's really quite easy to use once you're used to it.
