Why: There is help throughout, in particular in the partition editor, which shows help in the bottom line of the screen. More verbose help (e.g. pressing F1 to open a help screen) will likely come later.

If there is help throughout it sure is not in the 9.0 RC1 version.

I object to the closing of this pr without any review by the current list. I can not understand how you can say there is help info provided in bsdinstall. The very first dialog box where users select (install) has no help. Every dialog box shown should have a help option. Saying it will come later is not the professional way software is released to the public. This is not the Freebsd standard.

bsdinstall is the front door to FreeBSD and is the first thing installers see when trying to install it. Do you really want to show the public such a lack of pride in doing a complete job. In its current condition bsdinstall is not ready to be released. It gives the public the wrong impression (image) of what a great OS Freebsd is. Too many developers and other volunteers have invested tons of hours to have their united effort disrespected by a installer that is incomplete. This pr about adding help info is not the only outstanding pr on bsdinstall.
