I hardly notice the difference when installing OpenBSD over serial (vs

over glass console). It's the same amazing graceful text-only

interface that asks me some basic questions and installs fine.


Indeed, the only 'hard' part is when it comes to partitioning,

especially when multibooting. But once you've done this a couple of

times and you know how it works, you'll learn to dislike all the other

installers for being way to complicated.


Thanks guys !
