O.K., so after about four attempt to get a bootable cd, I finally got one to boot and installed the system. At the end of the install process I am presented with an option to reboot or enter "Live Cd". In the past when I installed from cds ordered from FreeBSD mall, there was a lot of software I could add after the installation process was concluded. I did not see that here. Is that what the "Live Cd" is all about. (I have been browsing the handbook and haven't found anything revealing in this respect) Also, There is a gui script that allow post install configuration options to be set. That script used to be accessible after the installation and reboot into the new system. I also have not found that, and don't remember the command to access it. There is one other hardware/software related issue that I am curious about: When there are two or more network interfaces that have names like en0, en1... etc. How do I tell which physical port is used by which network device? When there are only two, it is easy to switch back and fourth and look at ifconfig output, and do pinging for hosts on the same networks. In this case at least one will be used for internet connectivity via DHCP to dsl/modem, and another will be connected with manual address to local network. If I have a cable plugged into the wrong socket, things can get confusing for me and the system. This machine came with two built in networking interfaces & sockets (RJ45) that were not supported by FreeBSD at the time. So I got two more interface cards that did have driver support. That makes a total of four on this machine. Is there a standard pattern for matching the physical port to the device name? Thanks again for time, attention, and patience; JK
