“The nice part about the included upgrade/recovery
option is that if you have a previous version of DesktopBSD, the
installer will make upgrading very easy for you. Same thing is true
if you happen to spork the system to the point where it’s either
unusable or unbootable. Just pop the install disk in, run the
setup, recover the system, and you’re on your way. Setup only takes
about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. It may take as much as 45
minutes on very slow machines. The only thing you’ll have to do
after setup is answer a few questions, setup your users, and you’re
done. As you can see so far, the whole theme here is ease of
use.”
