Trying to install current from a memory stick and then a DVD and

I have been hearing about a new installer but I obviously have not  
payed enough attention, I am afraid. I started running freebsd at 2.0  
and never really had a problem with understanding the installation  
program.  There is always a first time, I guess.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201105/

When booting I seem to get a screen that makes me remember installer  
screens of the 1980s.  (They were not exactly intuitive.)

I somehow got the idea that the new installer was graphic.  Maybe  
something like PCBsd that is not bad at all.  I use it on all our  
employees computers.  Actually, after seeing this, I would love to  
have the old installer back.  Is their an option for that?

Does this new ASCII installer have a "how to" with a bit of  
information on the flow of the installation.

Thanks,

ed

P.D. The handbook does not seem to cover the installer I am seeing  
because it is 8.2.  It shows what I would love to see.  Maybe I need  
to install 8.2 and upgrade?
