The second CD contains a fully installed system you can use as a reference (and just about boot from); the third disc contains the ports tree; and the fourth disc has some extras on it. > When I start with the installation booting from CD-ROM the first > question comes about the kernel : > when I donīt know about this because Iīm a beginner : is it O.K. when I > choose īskip kernel conf ...ī and the hardware will detect automaticly ?

Remove what you don't have (but leave sc0 and psm0!) and configure what you do have so they are at the proper settings. > P.S.: ... what other advices can you give me for installing and > configuration (for me as a beginner) / what packages would be neccessary > for best > performance ... ? By package, do you mean third-party programs?
