Hi, thanks for your work. I did a quick test and found that * I can deselect every distribution and accept that "selection", this obviously didn't work to install. I think there should at least be a hint that base is required. * The window to select the distributions is called "Select Packages" * /README is missing * kern.geom.debugflags is set to 16. Is this to allow to manipulate slice and partition information while the disk is mounted? If so, isn't there a better way (mounting the disk after editing those tables)? * The ISO should imo contain a portsnap snapshot and not only ports.tgz * Maybe for src the appropriate checkouts file for cvsup * fdisk and bsdlabel are called very often?! * Did I miss where to install the standard MBR instead of the menu one? * The selected keymap is not written to /etc/rc.conf of the new system? So far I like the Installer. Maybe one day someone integrates a graphical frontend for the installer (eg. like desktopbsd) :) regards Marius
