You are provided with a series of menus from which you are invited to pick selections. You don't have to edit config files etc to do the install. I found it very friendly. In some senses the larger issue isn't telling the machine what you want so much as knowing what the significance of some of your answers are. That is just as true of FreeBSD as Linux. regards richard shea. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Cuba Group PO Box 1864 Wellington New Zealand PH +64 4 496 5205 MO +64 21 296 6839 FX +64 4 496 5209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
