Please don't touch the installer. It's just perfect. I have tried tons of different unix/linux OS's before I saw The Light and, pay attention, NONE of them was as reliable/robust/quick as OpenBSD's
And guess... FreeBSD is getting a graphical installer: http://blogs.freebsdish.org/ivoras/2007/08/29/finstall-alpha-version/ OpenBSD, along with the venerable and respectable linux slackare, is going to be one of the last bastions. Please no fancy installers, please no fancy GUIs!! Regarding multibooting, I struggled with this a bit and then decided to put _all_ information in a kind of summary. If you want to have a look: http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pau/zen_process_obsd.html This is meant for people wishing to migrate from linux to OpenBSD, as I did. The INSTALL.linux was too... spartan for me. Dave helped me and I put together the information. I hope this helps somebody. keep the installer as it is Pau 2007/9/14, Paul de Weerd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Fri, Sep 14, 2007 at 08:36:11AM +0100, Stuart Henderson wrote: > | On 2007/09/14 12:55, Edwards, David (JTS) wrote: > | > Have you ever tried to do an install of FreeBSD/Linux using a 9600 > | > serial console? > | > | Oh thanks, I'd been trying to erase that from memory (-: > | FreeBSD, 9600 serial, PXE boot.
