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
