 * The PC-BSD® installer now sets its default settings according to the hardware installed. 64-bit systems containing over 2GB of RAM will default to the ZFS filesystem whereas 32-bit systems and any system containing less than 2GB of RAM will default to UFS+SUJ. Systems containing more than 2GB of RAM will default to the KDE desktop and all other systems will default to the LXDE desktop. A hardware compatibility icon within the installer allows the user to see at a glance if their video card, Ethernet card, wireless card, and sound card are compatible with PC-BSD®.
-* The PC-BSD® installer now provides a [[Install a Server | wizard to install either a vanilla FreeBSD server or a TrueOS server]]. In addition to the base FreeBSD system provided by a vanilla FreeBSD server installation, the TrueOS server edition adds the command line versions of [[PBI Manager]], [[Update Manager]], and [[Warden®]].

 * The ability to perform a network install has been removed from the graphical installer. The [[Creating an Automated Installation with pc-sysinstall | scriptable back-end]] still provides the variables needed for network installations.
