Description Whistler 2009-11-16 06:50:01 UTC 
during installation of FreeBSD, there is a list whose title says "Country Selection" but includes some places like Hong Kong or Macao, or politically disputed regions like Taiwan.

It would be better to replace the title to a neutral term like "Country/Region Selection" to avoid the political issues, as 1) no one calls Hong Kong or Macao as a "country", and 2) I don't think FreeBSD is a correct place to spread some sorts of political ideas.

Fix: 

Replace the title to "Country/Region Selection" instead of "Country Selection".
How-To-Repeat: boot from the installation CD.

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
