 I agree with Eric. As a FreeBSD desktop user, I think (IMHO) that a
gui installer is a high cost low yield item. It would take a lot of
effort to make it work right. My experience with both YaST and
Mandrakes installer was that it took several releases for the bugs to
get worked out. IIRC SuSE introduced the GUI YaST2 in 7.0 and I think
it was working pretty well by 8.0 but that was over the period of a
year.
