Thank You, goatman > _______________________________________________ Hello Jim, First of all welcome to FreeBSD, I hope it meets your expectations and more :-). Thank you very much for considering to email us of potential short-comings, things that we might be able to use to improve our product. For your question you can best look into the URL I will put in below, the reference here is to the official FreeBSD release CD's and can be found on any official ftp mirror for FreeBSD. PC-BSD and for example FreeSBIE use FreeBSD as their foundation, but I can imagine that they strip out certain parts or do not install certain parts of the Operating System because of preference or things like that. The URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/ I hope this helps you, if you have additional questions, please refer to the freebsd-questions mailinglist, which is even better suited for your question; you can find the mailinglist on the same location you found this mailinglist: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions. Goodluck! Best regards, Remko -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** remko@elvandar.org FreeBSD ** remko@FreeBSD.org /* Quis custodiet ipsos custodes */
