And to further tell you my problem here goes: I installed my copy of 4.6.2 cleanly on a machine, to avoid having to find myself looking for more ports and programs to install I did a complete installation without bothering with the configuration of Xwindows ( as I will be accessing this box from SSH on a windows machine) so I don't need the XFREE86 or however its called, hehe. So in essence this is all being fine tuned by remote on LAN. To answer your question about whether I'm downloading .iso, no I did that for the first copy of the OS only and made a cd copy from windows yes. But all further ports I grab are *.tar.gz straight from Apache.org yes and then ftp'd into my bsd box. I can unzip them fine then I'm stuck with the tar to which I believe I 'untared' it correctly that now I have an apache_1.3.33 folder, which to me seems fine, but I don't believe I put it in the right directory tree. Also I have printed out the better part of the FBSD handbook, but right now I think I'm having an info overload. I've been at this for roughly 2 weeks now, out of stubbornness I didn't wish to disturb anyone with this, but my buddy who tutored me way back when has since gone away. I can supply you with more info if you wish, as this is perhaps only the tip of my iceburg.. :) Thanks again, -Marc
