Question already answered, but no, there is no graphical installer for FreeBSD.

FreeBSD uses the term "slice" instead of "partition".

If you want a graphical tool for this, try Partition Magic for windows, or the Disk Management tool in w2k/winXP. > My questions are just 3 now :) > I'll be glad if you consider these questions and reply to me. > Have a nice day.
