 ====== The finstall project ======
-Welcome to the home page of the //finstall// project, accepted for Google's Summer of Code 2007. This project aims to create a user-friendly graphical installer for %%FreeBSD%% & %%FreeBSD%%-derived systems. The project should yield something usable for 7.0-RELEASE, but the intention is to keep it as a "second" installer system during 7.x, alongside sysinstall. In any case, sysinstall will be kept for architectures not supported by finstall (e.g. all except i386 and amd64).

 Currently forseeable milestones / deliverables are:
-  * [:finstall/%%SurveyOfExistingInstallers%%:Survey of existing graphical installers]
+  * [[finstall/SurveyOfExistingInstallers|Survey of existing graphical installers]]
-  * [:finstall/%%FirstStep%%:First step: Build the toolkit] (front-end, back-end), do partitioning and simple install capability
+  * [[finstall/FirstStep|First step: Build the toolkit]] (front-end, back-end), do partitioning and simple install capability
   * Second step: Live boot CD with rudimentary install (copy) of the system to newly partitioned storage
-  * Third step: Configuration bits in the installer: what to install, root password, services to activate, etc.
+  * Third step: More advanced configuration of the new system
-  * Fourth step: Installation of additional third packages
-Current status of this project is: somewhere near //Third step//.
+Current status of this project is: Third step (Live boot CD is working!).
