It looks like you had better start with the documentation or you will be lost. It is all clearly detailed in the handbook and actually in several other places online. In general you only need to download the mini-ISO image and burn it directly to a CD. The rest can all be done from that, although if you have a slow net connection it can take a few hours. Since I have a good connection, it generall takes about an hour to do a whole installation including installing the entire ports tree or sometimes called the ports skeleton (but of course, not all of the ports source - the source is only downloaded when you actually install a particular port). Good luck and read, search and study a while before you do anything with actual files, CDs or disks. ////jerry > > Respectfully, > > Vincent M. Dorio >
