As someone who re-installs FreeBSD @ 3 times a day ( ALL due to me trashing= =20 it, no fault of the O/S ), I advise installing the LOT. EVERYTHING. That wa= y,=20 you'll get away with three changes ( or it may be two ? ). >Message: 31 >Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 15:10:46 -0500 >From: "Timothy Radigan" >Subject: RE: whi? >To: ,=A0=A0 >Message-ID: <20051122201115.CE8A243D72@mx1.FreeBSD.org> >Content-Type: text/plain;=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0charset=3D"ISO-8859-2" >That's because you selected packages to install that were located on the 2= nd >CD. =A0If you have an internet connection, I would just install the Ports = tree >and after the initial installation is complete, install the applications >through the ports and download the sources as you need them. =A0It's a lot >easier that way instead of switching the CD 1000 times. I may be guilty of mis-reading this, but the thought of downloading @=20 compiling anything of any complexity fills me with horror !?!?
