It depends on your intent and the amount of disk space you have - also on how fast your internet connection is. I normally install everything including source. But, there are several items that select an appropriate subset for that choice. So, minimal installation selects just what you need to get a basic server with no X running. You can add X if you want. I suggest that you at least install a "standard" system with X and ports. But, if you have enough disk space - at least 3 GB free, more is better, just select everything. Then you can play more later. If you do that, make sure either /usr is big - at least 1.5 GB or that you move and link /usr/local and /usr/ports to something in your larger space before doing anything with ports or X desktops. ////jerry
