Isn't it ironic how lead can hurt and help you, I'm referring to lead poisoning.

bash and zsh are not include in the base install. They are in the
ports system, mainly because they are 3rd party shells.

FreeBSD doesn't do GUI config. FreeBSD is primarily a cross platform
server OS, not a desktop. Implementing a cross platform GUI install
thingy is more trouble then it is worth  because most servers don't
even have a monitor. Try getting that GUI to work over a serial port.
sysinstall is the only (that I know of)  config program that FreeBSD
is released with so I don't know what other config programs you are
referring to. Are you thinking about X config?, X + gnome, etc. are
not part of FreeBSD. Ports or Packages = 3rd party and not part of
FreeBSD, if it's not on the mini install disc then it isn't part of
FreeBSD.
