Your installation sucks! It's worse than DOS. Every OS on the market has a graphical installation except you. What is the deal??? The ease of installation is the single reason that I use Linux over BSD. It's the year 2002 and you clowns are still in the dark ages of archaic command prompts for installation. I use the command line to admin my UNIX machines but your installation is simply unacceptable. Do you realize that you lose more business because of this one issue than all the others combined? Your OS is so diffucult to install that I have given up trying and I switched to Linux, because it WORKS!! Get your act together. Once your OS is loaded it works great, but I have never gotten it to load without hours upon hours of headaches and stupid text mode BS. I can go through all the options for loading Redhat Linux in literally 5 minutes; yours takes hours to do anything and then it doesn't even work. You don't even have a "Back" option so you can change configs
that you may have messed up. You're a joke. How hard is it to do a simple graphical installation option?
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Design and supply a graphical installation option with your OS.
