[Tfug] FreeBSD update

[Predrag Punosevac]

I forgot to say. Since you will be running release version (if you decide  
to install 7.0) you can install X during the installation of the base  
system. The only reason people like to install it from ports is that they  
actually like to snap the ports after installation and then compile  
packages and keep them updated by portupgrade.

The same people usually run cvsup immediately after the installation and  
then they rebuild the kernel, then they snap the port three
and compile Xorg and whatever.

That boils down either to running 7.1 stable or 8.0 current.
I have run stable in the past and I would be cool to run 7.1 stable. I  
would not run 8.0 current even on the desktop.

Since you are not after latest packages I would just do complete  
installation from 7.0 CD1 and install any available packages that you are  
interested at from CD2. Then I would compile whatever else you need but I  
would take the port three during the installation thereby making sure that  
my make file are tagged for release.

Nothing fancy. Keep it simple.
