No attached PIC.
It depends on your intent and the amount of disk space you have
- also on how fast your internet connection is.
I normally install everything including source.
But, there are several items that select an appropriate subset for
that choice. So, minimal installation selects just what you need
to get a basic server with no X running. You can add X if you want.
I suggest that you at least install a "standard" system with X and ports.
But, if you have enough disk space - at least 3 GB free, more is better,
just select everything. Then you can play more later.
If you do that, make sure either /usr is big - at least 1.5 GB or
that you move and link /usr/local and /usr/ports to something in
your larger space before doing anything with ports or X desktops.
