Linux Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

FreeBSD installer

...as we slowly away into the sunset and offtopic...

I meant, I want an installer that just doesn't get the job done, but make the job easier on me.

Then, I guess the real question is how does the FreeBSD installer not get the job done for you?

It's not panacea, for sure. It certainly has issues, but to me these are more deep fundamental issues that are not the interface. More, perhaps, the procession of install steps and/or restartability.

However, I can't think of anything that really needs a mouse to make it better. Perhaps the partioning tool...

The reason I bring it up, is that sysinstall is pretty darn GUI save for not using a mouse.
