Re: bin/161927: bsdinstall(8): has no help describing what is
From-To: open->closed
By: nwhitehorn
When: Sun Oct 23 15:18:39 UTC 2011
Why: There is help throughout, in particular in the partition editor,
which shows help in the bottom line of the screen. More verbose help
(e.g. pressing F1 to open a help screen) will likely come later.

If there is help throughout it sure is not in the 9.0 RC1 version.
I object to the closing of this pr without any review by the current
list. I can not understand how you can say there is help info provided
in bsdinstall. The very first dialog box where users select (install)
has no help. Every dialog box shown should have a help option. Saying it
will come later is not the professional way software is released to the
public. This is not the Freebsd standard.
bsdinstall is the front door to FreeBSD and is the first thing
installers see when trying to install it. Do you really want to show the
public such a lack of pride in doing a complete job. In its current
condition bsdinstall is not ready to be released. It gives the public
the wrong impression (image) of what a great OS Freebsd is. Too many
developers and other volunteers have invested tons of hours to have
their united effort disrespected by a installer that is incomplete. This
pr about adding help info is not the only outstanding pr on bsdinstall.
