I'm very new to FreeBSD but it seems to me that the installer is pretty much ok. My only wish is that there might be a little more info upfront somewhere, preferably in the installer somewhere, about setting up for a dual boot. I couldn't find in the handbook, (that may be my fault, don't know, but i finally googled the info i needed, after thinking that I had inadvertently committed my Windows slice into the abyss. maybe that was a good thing, but....
IMO though, the installer should be as lightweight and spare as possible, that is, if the engineering dudes are writing it. I would rather see them doing their fantastic work on the OS, not on the installer anyway. Seems to me that a full-featured GUI installer would be a good project for the community? (ok, yeah they could have left sysinstall alone, but so what???) If you had to depend on sysinstall on a daily basis, i could see having issues with the change, but then again, if you are using it that often a custom install script....something... would be better anyway. from my point of view, I would rather learn how to do this by hand, because then i would come out learning a lot more, and knowing more about my own system. Probably be next on my agenda. since this is my first contact with the community, I would like to thank the development folks properly for the awesome work that they do, and to those who contribute to this list.
