I'm at a point now where I'm thinking about adding it and I see sysinstall: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html Looks easy. For some unknown reason sysinstall spits the following: Warning: The disc currently in the drive is either not a FreeBSD disc or it is an older (pre 1.2.5) FreeBSD CD which does not have a version number on it. Do you wish to use this disc anyway? Like any sane person who burned this CD a few hours previously on the same machine from within FreeBSD and then installed from it shortly afterwards I click "Yes" ... So that doesn't work. I wonder what would have happened if I had elected to install "ports" during the initial install ... I'm here if anyone's bothered and wants more information. Best wishes.
