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

...of FreeBSD it pains me to ask this question: When are you going to

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.
You might find this interesting to read:

Aloha,
I have used the text base Sysinstall since 2.* FreeBSD.
It is extremely flexible especially with ports. Keeps your system lean
of code.
Gui installs have a tendency to hide things you need to tweak or alter
to suit a specific need.
I find it fast and efficient the way it is.
Thanks to our faithful coders for all their work.
