Well I understand your position, however I think the problem with both NetBSD and FreeBSD is that many dislike DOS and also there is no reason why we can't have a bug free installation. Also the state of our installation procedures does not suprise me, I have seen over the years both as a group leader and as a software engineer plenty of programmers failed to write a decent installation procedure.
