-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).+Welcome to the home page of the //finstall// project, accepted for Google's Summer of Code 2007.
