By default now, geom creates an ufsid label on its
ufs partitions (similar idea to linux's uuid scheme).

If you choose to not use it (let us say, for instance,
as we can clearly see, as no-one could disagree (and
30 other inane Chomskyisms)) by mounting your partitions
via their respective bsdlabel names, geom kindly removes
them.  There has been some debate as to whether this should
be silent or not (I think in freebsd-current@), since it is perfectly
safe to ignore.

It is perfectly safe to ignore.

This are labels:

 Partition b is for swap and c represents the entire slice. They will not
appear in df output.

Why would you want RAM to be free?
try top(1).

"man ftpd" explains pretty much everything you need to know about
runnign anonymous FTP with the base system ftp daemon.  It isn't
capable of bandwidth shaping, although dummynet(4) is (in my opinion)
the best way to control that -- assuming you really need to, which
probably isn't the case, even if you think you do.  

I don't think the stock ftpd can control number of users.

Use /stand/sysinstall for a user-friendly way to do that -

Configure/Networking/Anon FTP

DUMMYNET traffic shaper is one of the available options:

I don't know, what you mean by "numer ou users".

 Midnight Commander I believe is no longer supported by Gnome2 (they use
 nautilus2 instead). I'm not sure why it wouldn't be building "under any
 condition" though. It'd help if you posted the errors you get...

 It is in the ports ('www' section) as well as the linux-mozilla version
 (which will allow you to use the linux browser plugins).

Are you saying there is a compilation error with the port?  If so,
please post the relevant parts of the build log showing the failure.

It's definitely in the ports collection..look harder :-)

Mozilla is in the ports, both a native version and the linux version. In
category www. If you're looking for the package version on the cd's if I
recall
correctly it is on cd 3 or cd 4.
