Hi, I downloaded the DVD ISO for FreeBSD 8.0 (i386) and verified the MD5 checksum before burning. With regards to choosing distributions for installation, the handbook says
"If a graphical user interface is desired then a distribution set that is preceded by an X should be chosen" and the help for the "Choose Distributions" section of sysinstall says "An "X-" prefixed before a distribution set means that the Xorg base distribution, libraries, manual pages, servers and a set of default fonts will be selected in addition to the set itself..". However, I do not see any distributions listed that are prefixed with "X-". The choices are "All", "Reset", "Developer", "Kern-Developer", "User", "Minimal" and "Custom". Even the "Custom" option has nothing related to Xorg. Is it supposed to be like this (i.e. no distributions containing X are presented on installation), or do I need to download other media from which to install? Note that I'm not asking how to install X and I realise that I can do it post-installation, but I'm just wondering whether I've made a mistake with my download or if the documentation is out of date.
