| What is included in FreeBSD Toolkit (www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-
| bin/fm/bsdtool?id=JLLhBDeL&mv_pc=108)? What 'additional packages'?
| Since FreeBSD already comes with a huge collection of applications,

The packages available with the Toolkit are also available through the 
FreeBSD ports collection.  Mostly the Toolkit is useful if you have a box 
that will be difficult to hook up to the internet or if you want to do the 
primary installation for someone who is less than perfectly computer literate 
or some other odd circumstances.  (What specific packages are on the CDs will 
vary with release and so I won't hazard a guess.)

Hope this helps,
Marci
