Personally, I wonder why there isn't a ISO image that'll install=20 FreeBSD somewhat in a Gentoo concept, format the disk(s), download the=20= source, csup and install from the source(good for someone wanting to=20 follow -STABLE instead of -RELEASE), install and csup the ports tree,=20 and good to go. Anyway, odds are the OP wants to try out PCBSD instead of FreeBSD. I=20 don't see much purpose in home use live cd's if you don't want a=20 desktop environment. > --=20 > Mel > > Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules > and never get to the software part. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to=20 > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
