Now you can add applications via /stand/sysinstall or going to the ports tree (if you installed it) and having it build them for you! The "type /stand/sysinstall" is the MOTD (message of the day) - you can find it in /etc/motd and change it if you like (you'll need to be root). Enjoy! If you have more questions, ask away.
