I can't connect to the Internet because my friend has dial-up with MSN and I can't get the moden to connect 2. I would like to install Apache 2.2.4, PHP 5.2.3, and PHP-mysql 5.2.3 from my cdrom but I dont really understand the port system and the dependicies, whether I should download the Distfiles to a CD 3. I have a USB stick drives that I would like to hotswap in and out --- when I boot they are there as /dev/da1s1 but will not return when I reinsert the drive in the usb port. Thanks, Cecil
