Sounds unrelated to the image itself. > And what is the differance between bootonly.iso and miniinst.iso? miniinst.iso is everything in the "base system" without any packages (except Perl), but with the ports tree. I am not sure what bootonly.iso lacks that miniinst.iso has (almost certainly the ports tree). <snip> If you have broadband, I suggest using the miniinst.iso and either installing packages via FTP with /stand/sysinstall or building everything from ports. Since you are new at this: don't forget to CVSup your ports tree after you install. Also, if I were you, I would install portupgrade and always use portupgrade/portinstall instead of manually compiling ports. -Tabor Kelly
