Thanks for your notes! I also have some updates on my progress: The  
LiveCD is fully working via CD and also on a second computer via PXE.  
You can start bsdinstaller and choose menupoints. At the moment I am  
working especially on the "installing on Harddrive"-thing. The bad  
news is, that my development-machine crashed before two days. So I  
have to get some new hardware soon. :( Looks like the memory is  
broken - hmpf!

As soon as I have access to all my data and ISO-Images, I can send  
them to you. (and clearly all other interested people)

sure!

Cheers!
