I am going to try to install something else from the ports collection and see how it goes. Also, what applications should I think about adding, being a newbie. Ultimately, I'd like to make FreeBSD my firewall and internet/ftp server, but I'd really like to learn how multimedia applications perform under the UNIX environment, as well. I suppose I need mail, cd audio, and file-transfer capability. Are there other [good] window environments (besides XWindows)? Should I try another method of installation? Though I select an installation without XWindows, it seems to me like it's being installed by default anyway. Can I avoid that? ************************************* Jolok To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
