The two most populair options to install FreeBSD over the internet with two floppydisks or with a CD. The main full CD has the most populair packages and all the ports recipies on board. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You would probably want pkg_add -r xyz instead of ports but if you want to compile it your own you can use cvsup (pkg_add -r cvsup) to get your ports tree.
