Just choose the intimidating `7 Custom' from the main menu, where it says `for experts'. From that menu select `4 Distributions' and than `7 Custom'. Remember to select a menu item by hiliting it with the cursor keys and than pressing the *space* key -- *not* the enter key. After that choose sources and finally FreeBSD kernel. After selecting the kernel source distribution you have to choose your media and then commit your selections. This reads more complicated than it is! Wolfgang
