However, armed with all of the responses I have received, and the new understanding I now have, I have moved forward with deleting the other ISO images I do not need, and am readying to burn the DVD image (as that alone will be sufficient for me). It has been quite a long time (seven or so years maybe?) since I last played with BSD (excepting the MacOS based Apple I purchased about 4 years ago). Linux has always been sufficient and more commercially supported for my Unix needs. Though, with ZFS and more products running under FreeBSD, I am for sure interested to evaluate it again. Thanks again for everyone's assistance.
