"finstall" is a graphical installer project for FreeBSD, sponsored by Google during the 2007 Summer of Code. Its goal is to create a modern installer, usable by both novice users and experts. Because it is divided into front end and back end, it can potentially be used for advanced purposes as system configuration, remote and custom installs, etc. The project has resulted in a simple installer ISO image for i386 that can be used for new installations on empty hard drives. Development has continued post-SoC but somewhat slowly; recently implemented features include ZFS support and BSDStats support. To attract more potential developers (especially those without an account on FreeBSD's official development systems), the project has moved to SourceForge. Future development plans include support for headless / remote installs, partitioning, etc. Talks about finstall will be given at BSDCan 2008.

Open tasks:

1. Remote / headless install support.
2. Better partitioning support in the front end.
3. GPT boot support.
4. Fine grained package selection support.
