Just interested in why you think it's so bad?
I've installed just about everything that's been around, going way back

to Linux SLS and I find the OpenBSD install better than all of them!
I'd guess it might be related to the reason I use BSD.  I find Linux a

far better desktop and only use *BSD for important stuff.  Given that, a

5 minute install without all the bells and whistles is just brilliant.
Or maybe it's my background where I'm more than comfortable on the

command line and find ncurses stuff painful and unnecessary.
Have you ever tried to do an install of FreeBSD/Linux using a 9600

serial console?
ciao
