Re: Where's the BSDInstaller?

I'm CC'ing the FreeSBIE ML as its members may be interested in what
follows.

Sadly you can't. Due to lack of time, will, interest and resources,
none managed to port the BSDInstaller to FreeSBIE 2.0.
IMHO this is not something to be missed. FreeSBIE is a liveCD and it
is based on FreeBSD, or better said, it's FreeBSD put on a liveCD and
configured. It is not meant to be installed, from my point of view. If
you want something like FreeSBIE on your hard disk, install FreeBSD
then copy the FreeSBIE configuration files and you're done.

The installation support was a "plus" for FreeSBIE, but when you're
already working hard to make a good release, you cannot take care of
extra and not mandatory features.
