I'm looking to install only the bare essentials to FreeBSD and then

To do this, do I just need the first FreeBSD 6 ISO? Or can I get away
with just the boot CD ISO and then install each port one-by-one?
(Basically, I just wanna build a Nagios server, and that requires
very, very little)
A bit more work perhaps than you're willing or able to commit, but you
might be interested in MiniBSD - a set of scripts that enable you to
pare down a base FreeBSD system to something very small indeed.

It needs some practice to get it right, but the results are quite
useful when you get it right!

I'm running a couple of mini-ITX sized mini-bsd machines now. They're
dedicated to SSL proxy duties. They boot and run fom 32MB compact flash
cards. / is mounted read only, /var & /tmp are ramdisks. Runs great on
VMware too.
