Congrats. Seems like your starting to get past the learning curve...
I know exactly how you feel.

So does everybody that's stuck with it long enough to see why it's so 
useful. (Read - everyone that's learned enough to complete the install.)

As a side note, since my first install, I have now installed freebsd on 
around 20 different computers with almost no errors. (It was mostly just 
learning what things, like "out of inodes", meant; now I can install it 
right the first time, almost every time.)

Yeah, I just love the script maintainers around here. (I recently upgraded 
my comp. after about an 8 month stretch; not a single problem.)

Just thought I'd give my thoughts,
