The new installer got rid of dependencies and is scriptable - very good ! But the new installer looks primitive now. There were e.g. error messages that were incomprehensive, or did not return user to the beginning of a particular step or allow to continue, instead just interrupted the installation - a sign of untested software. That's not good for "an introduction to OS" which every installer is to a user. Perhaps the dev should take a look at PC-BSD installer for an inspiration. Please make changes soon, for 9.1 release if possible. inquiz
