I am bored, so I bite ^_^

Use pkg_add -r. Make cvsup and portupgrade the first installed, use
them.

I only ever grab the boot only CD.

The autodetected one does not work? Odd, out side of crappy hardware
I've not seen this before. X -configure has all ways worked nicely
for me except for one system with a weird video chip.

As far as speed goes, I've honestly have never had a problem with it.
