The guys at The BSD Show try an impromptu program with an iXSystems developer. Originally, he was hired to do the Flash port to FreeBSD, but Adobe withdrew and didn't cooperate. So that is why Flash doesn't work natively on BSD. John has been working with FreeNAS and PCBSD recently.
They discuss the future of Sysinstall and all the die hard sysinstall users who won't migrate to MSI files.
Lots of good sysinstall vs PC Sysinstall conversations and its time to migrate to PC Sysinstall for FreeBSD.
PC Sysinstall handles a lot of the new features such as ZFS and gmirror, gpt paritions, etc. It doesn't currently support PXE booting yet, but it will. It does have cool stuff like zfs root.
PC Sysinstall has support for scripting, so you could use PC Sysinstall as a backend and script your own front end for whatever you were doing.
Much discussion, swearing and planning for MeetBSD ensues.
