Just ignore it if I have.. :) Basically I have the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.2.5 collection on CD-ROM (the 4 Disc set). Going through the NOVICE installation, I chose NOT to install the port collection (I thought it would eat up all the room on the 600 meg partition that FreeBSD has). After asking about Netscape and AfterStep, I see I really needed to install that port collection. How do I go about installing the port collection without having to re-install everything? And how much does that port collection take up on the hard drive when it's all installed? - Brian
