FreeBSD doesn't do GUI config. FreeBSD is primarily a cross platform server OS, not a desktop. Implementing a cross platform GUI install thingy is more trouble then it is worth because most servers don't even have a monitor. Try getting that GUI to work over a serial port. sysinstall is the only (that I know of) config program that FreeBSD is released with so I don't know what other config programs you are referring to. Are you thinking about X config?, X + gnome, etc. are not part of FreeBSD. Ports or Packages =3D 3rd party and not part of FreeBSD, if it's not on the mini install disc then it isn't part of FreeBSD.
