So now that we've made it this far, can we please just kill this
"thread" already? I count 91 messages to and from this individual over
the course of a week, forwarded and CC'd all over the place, with topics
changing a half-dozen times a day (some of which are apparently not
related to FreeBSD). Now that the OP may have finally made it through
the FreeBSD installation, I see no reason to continue. It took a mere
three or four messages for this to turn into an barely comprehensible
mess with 25-word subject lines and frequently changing topics, and it's
reached the point where the OP has asked for help with each individual
option offered by the installer. Honestly, I don't see any reason to
think the requests for spoon-feeding will end at this point.

I get that the OP is unfamiliar with FreeBSD and isn't fluent in
English, but from what I can gather the language barrier probably is not
the primary problem here, and I'm tired of sorting through this stuff
every day.
