Well, the FreeBSD installer installs the base system for you, but you have to 
check add-on software, like Netscape, LaTeX etc., otherwise you'll get the
base system only :-). Anyway you can install so called packages easily at
any time using /stand/sysinstall and going to 'post-install configuration...'
and then 'Install pre-packaged software...'. I think that nowadays there are 
options to install complete KDE stuff and such (long time ago that I installed 
from scratch...).

Yes I know... stupid rain... you might be interested in http://www.nlfug.nl ,
the site of the Dutch FreeBSD users group...

Anyway, good luck with the install!
