Hi, I am curious as to whether or not this is actually possible. The idea is to install FreeBSD from scratch using a Linux live disc akin to how one would install Gentoo. That means that I would create the filesystems, mount them on partitions, download and build the sources, chroot in, and do configuration that way. The main reason is that since there is no talking live installer for the visually impaired, it would be difficult to get an install going without sighted assistance. Any thoughts/ideas are welcome. Hunter
