        I saw that too.  I'm not sure I qualify as an "experienced 
FreeBSD user", but although I almost certainly would not use the tool 
myself (I like to have some inkling of what programs are doing and 
why), I can see why others might want something like this.

        Myself, I'd like to see an improved installation tool to replace 
sysinstall, before we worry too much about a GUI kernel configuration 
tool, although if someone has a real bee in their bonnet to do the 
latter, I certainly wouldn't be inclined to stand in their way.

  Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
