  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.
