Hello

I found parrot installer still hanging under FreeBSD (at least FreeBSD 5.5).
Its's probably because OS name isn't properly separated.

I found this change useful:

     print "\n" if $verbose;

     my $archname = $conf->data->get_p5('archname');
-    my ( $cpuarch, $osname ) = split m/-/, $archname, 2;
+    my ( $cpuarch, $osname ) = split m/-/, $archname, 3;
     if ( !defined $osname ) {
         ( $osname, $cpuarch ) = ( $cpuarch, "" );
     }

This was enough and the test was passed.

Regards, Bruno
