Now I'm installing from thr FreeBSD 2.0 CDROM, and I'd like to install things like olvwm and fvwm but the concept of the "port" has me scratching my head. Packages I could figure out but not the ports. I am assuming there is an automated way of doing this. And yes, I could not find it in the FAQ (or did I miss it?). Thanx for the assistance. Andrew
