I have installed 2.2.6 on multiple machines without incident.  However now
I've ran into a little probelm and also would like to get some tips to
make the job a little faster.

1.  On Desktops as well as Servers there is a standard set of ports we
    use.  I've been going through sysinstall and showing the entire list.
    From there i would go run down the line checking off stuff.  Is there
    a way I could specify a pre-set "package" of ports for installation?
    I could probably take the standard list of ports find out where they
    are and then write a script that would do this:

    cd /usr/ports/location/port
    make all install 

2.  How do I keep my own mirror of FreeBSD-*.  We have old computers that
    we could use to do a netwrok install (like a codebase) instead of a
    cd-rom or internet.  This machines only purpose in life would be to
    mirror the content of ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/freebsd.

3.  I have the most recent computer and am having problems with the ps2
    mouse.  I went out and bought another and still no luck.  What I have
    noticed is that when it boots up and does a probe it finds the psm0
    device but its set at a different  range ( like 0x???) than what the
    kernel is set to.  Should I chnage the kernel to reflect what it has
    found. 

4.  Also unlike everyone else here my sound blaster awe 32 card is not
    PNP. I installed the divce in the krenel and /kernel.config file as if
    was the awe pnp....the only message i get is no pnp devices
    found...which is true...I can't get sound.  During the
    probe I get the ISA found IRQ ..message (its the only isa card I have) 
    should I have something different....also when I try to to do a
    ./MAKEDEV within /dev I get an error about no  such
    device(joy0,snd0 etc)

5.  If anyone has any tips about how to slice up large( 12gigs or more)
    hard drives I would like to hear them. 

JOHN
