>>It is not bundled. Almost nothing is bundled. But it is available in ports and installing it is one of the special options during a standard installtion. Please correct me if I'm wrong: GNOME (or KDE) in included in FreeBSD downloaded file but it isn't installed by default, but it can be installed during installation process if I want to. If I'm wrong, does this mean that I have to connect to Internet during FreeBSD installation? Thanks.
