Hi Dan, At 2.2.7 I experienced a problem myself using the Custom sets; I believe that's been worked out for 3.1-STABLE (which is IMHO where you really want to be). You can get to a daily snapshot of the -STABLE branch at ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD I _always_ use the 'Developer' installation set but will try to do a 'Custom' one tonight. My approach is to always build everything I can from source, and exclusively from the ports collection unless there is a piece of software that isn't represented there. In that case, I try to create a new port for it. Nice to see you around!
