For ease of future upgrade, I suggest 5.3. Get the first iso, no need for the rest. Second, you might find yourself installing a few times before you get it right. Not that you get it wrong at first, but your needs might need to clear up. A full install is not recommended, you will get a system that requires more work to update. A minimal is better, since you can always add stuff as you need. Dependencies are resolved automatically if you use the ports.

It sounds like you are not installing from ports, this explains why apache fails to compile. You should get the ports tree in /usr/ports, then # cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 # make # make install if you get an error, retry and you can catch all the output using script: # script apache_build.log # make # exit see if you can locate the problem if not copy the relevant part of the output when asking here. cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/2004071206.crt Subject ID: A9:76:7A:ED:06:95:2B:8D:48:97:CE:F2:3F:42:C8:F2:22:DE:4C:B9 Fingerprint: 4A:E8:63:38:46:F6:9A:5D:B4:DC:29:41:3F:62:D3:0A:73:25:67:C2
