Thanks for the reply. Interesting, prior to this release, I just breezed through the screens after selecting standard install, and it must of always selected a minimal install by default without any interaction. Prior, I would not install any distribution sets, ports or the like until after the reboot. In 6.1, I actually had to scroll down and select minimal install. I find it strange that it wouldn't install the 'bare minimum' by default, without having to select the 'minimum' entry. Anyway, I'm all up and running now. Tks! Steve
