I have been hearing about a new installer but I obviously have not
payed enough attention, I am afraid. I started running freebsd at
2.0 and never really had a problem with understanding the
installation program. There is always a first time, I guess.

When booting I seem to get a screen that makes me remember
installer screens of the 1980s. (They were not exactly intuitive.)
I somehow got the idea that the new installer was graphic. Maybe
something like PCBsd that is not bad at all. I use it on all our
employees computers. Actually, after seeing this, I would love to
have the old installer back. Is their an option for that?
Does this new ASCII installer have a "how to" with a bit of
information on the flow of the installation.
Thanks,
Can you please describe what you didn't like about it, and what you
would prefer be changed? "Reminiscent of the 1980s" is not really
helpful, especially given that the new installer in fact looks very
much like sysinstall, which you seemed to like.

I do not get a menu that I can understand or relate to any of the
installations that I have done previously. I will give it another try
and try to explain what I don't understand.
Thanks,
ed
P.S. Is their no documentation on what to expect?
