Hi All! I'm totally new to FreeBSD. I used Linux before but I decided to try FreeBSD. I just downloaded FreeBSD 4.8 from a public ftp site and installed a brand new system with X and full development tools. I have some questions before I can start. It seems that the installer requires only the first CD but I have two CDs. I could not find a way to instruct the installer program to use it. What did I wrong? My second question. I read about the differences between Linux and FreeBSD. I like the idea that there is only one official FreeBSD. I'm going to develop cross platform, multi tiered applications using Python and it is nice to have a free and compact system which I can offer to my clients. But I need other packages like "wxPython", "PyCrypto" and others for my work. I know I can download the source code and compile them but I read the comparision where someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. So I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in Debian. Can you help me? I'm sorry for the long e-mail. Thanks in advance. Laci 1.0
