I am a FreeBSD newbie and have some questions about installation.  I inst=
alled the 5.4 version from CD and selected the =E2=80=9CUser and X Window=
s=E2=80=9D (or something like it) installation.  I also selected =E2=80=9C=
yes=E2=80=9D for installing all of the packages.

The packages installation copied about 25MB of data to the disk instead o=
f the 300MB that it said it was going to.  Is that what it=E2=80=99s supp=
osed to do?  It looks like not all of the packages were copied, specifica=
lly Netatalk (which is on the second CD).  How do I get it to copy the re=
st of the packages?

Also, it looked like it copied the X.org files but never went through the=
 X setup.  Is this what it is supposed to do?

I have a working text-based FreeBSD system, but I would like to get the N=
etatalk package installed and also get the X windows system up and runnin=
g.

Please help!!

 

Thanks!

 

Robert
