Just tried this out (finally)- REALLY cool.  First shell interface I've 
seen outside of sysinstall that really feels like it does...

I'm a real fan of consistency for UI, and this script is a really cool 
base for making stuff which is aimed at folks familiar with the FreeBSD 
install screens...  (seems good for important tasks which people don't 
do very often, and don't care to learn a complex app to do...)

Thanks for posting it!!!
