Dear Sir:
Sadly, I am forced to admit I actually did read that page, but did not
see the informative paragraph you are referencing, until you pointed it out
to me!
However, armed with all of the responses I have received, and the new
understanding I now have, I have moved forward with deleting the other ISO
images I do not need, and am readying to burn the DVD image (as that alone
will be sufficient for me).
It has been quite a long time (seven or so years maybe?) since I last
played with BSD (excepting the MacOS based Apple I purchased about 4 years
ago). Linux has always been sufficient and more commercially supported for
my Unix needs. Though, with ZFS and more products running under FreeBSD, I
am for sure interested to evaluate it again.
Thanks again for everyone's assistance.
V/R,
Stuart
