Thanks for the reply.

Interesting, prior to this release, I just breezed through the screens
after selecting standard install, and it must of always selected a
minimal install by default without any interaction.

Prior, I would not install any distribution sets, ports or the like
until after the reboot.

In 6.1, I actually had to scroll down and select minimal install. I find
it strange that it wouldn't install the 'bare minimum' by default,
without having to select the 'minimum' entry.

Anyway, I'm all up and running now.

Tks!
