This however should really only affect people who wish to use *FreeBSD Jails* as standard non-Jail configured systems will run fine with the default selection above. [/quote Which is exactly the same as Andy has just mentioned below. The rest of the procedure then is pretty trivial.... I think Dave is getting confused about how to use the sysintall software which I did at first too a few years back when I started with FreeBSD but now that I am used to it, I don't suffer any more. The next release of FreeBSD won't have that any more from what I recall reading and will change to something else? - Correct me if wrong...
