Jeremy hit the nail on the head with that one.  I do use it fairly often 
and have gotten used to that quirk.  But new users...  that clearly will 
confuse them.

If there were one area to focus on, I'd say that's the one.  It's a tough 
one though because the people that work on that probably also haven't seen 
a n00b sitting in front of it in some time and anyone that uses sysinstall 
regularly has "patched" it in their head.

That said, for a quick "I don't want to read anything I just want to jam 
the CD in and get it installed" tool, I think the PC-BSD installer is 
outstanding.
