While the line between 'intuitive' and 'familiar' is not sharp, I think there are some things that qualify as 'intuitive'. 'Enter' should select the highlighted selection. Tab and up/down arrows should move from selection to selection. Escape should back up one menu. sysinstall is unintuitive, not unfamiliar. I've used it dozens of times, and every time I curse whoever came up with it's menu navigation scheme. I was a bit over my head when I installed FreeBSD the first time, too. I'd done Linux (several flavors) before, but that wasn't enough. Am I ed1, or what? where's eth0? Luckily, I sprang for the bundle from windriver that included Greg Lehey's book. Otherwise, FreeBSD probably would have gone the same way as every RedHat installation I've tried: Could probably be done, but I know how to install SuSE with less effort. -- Carl Tucker cft@panix.com flestrin@worldnet.att.net tuckercl@phnsy.navy.mil To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
