I'm having various after install issues and can't seem to find a forum that is dealing with some of the more basic concepts. I have read the freeBSD handbook & the porters handbook, but am still having problems. I want to install the sources for the ports from a CD, not ftp. I've done a full install and even added a lInux and DOS partition using the BSD boot manager.
