You can compare the difference in appearance and functionality by having a loot at the corresponding handbook chapters: Up to FreeBSD 8 -> sysinstall https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/using-sysinstall.html FreeBSD 9 and later -> bsdinstall https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/using-bsdinstall.html Even though it's still possible to do configuration tasks right after installation (and still being in "installation mode"), most users seem to prefer booting the newly installed system and then continuing configuring it, or adding software via ports or pkg. Regarding ports and the new pkg system, I recommend having a look at the relevant chapters: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.html It's different from using CVS and pkg_add et al., but it will accomplish the same functional results, and more. And easier. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
