i have never used a cd after a freesbd install??  and debian has an 8 disc 
download, i found myself changing cds for an hour, only to see X fail on my flat 
pannel.(sarge)  had to configure manually

i like apt-get as well, but ports/pkg_* are nearly identical, when it comes to 
dependency handling, usability

why do i have the feeling you chose 'Expert Install'

oh, well, enjoy...
