No problem.  The C compiler (gcc) comes withthe base system, and we use
XFree86, which you should be familiar with.

Pretty big.  The CDROm is a good investment.

FreeBSD File Requirements:
  
REQUIRED:
        floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
        tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
        bin/*
 
RECOMMENDED:
        manpages/
        compat*/
        doc/    (at your discretion)
        src/ssys.*
	XF86331/ (for Xwindows, just grab the server(s) you want)
