Oh BTW I downloaded it, ran in on my spare system, it installed without a hitch (only the SATA CDROM gave some READ_LONG errors during the boot process). I like the install procedure, it requires less keypresses and menu fiddling than systinstall, and doesn't ask outdated and superfluous questions (like I want to install a NFS server, for example).
