About 5-6 years ago I installed 6.x on a server computer at my business, I "learned" a few things along the way but because FreeBSD ran so well with so few problems my administration of it was limited to SSHing in every 6 mo. or so and updating a few settings. Now I have new hardware and will be making a server that will actually see a lot more use.
I have decided to install FreeBSD on both the new server and a laptop that was recently replaced. I have run into some odd problems along my install but just as oddly they have seemed to resolve themselves so I am going to take this one at a time.
As of right now I have the server updating/installing ports I need and a few I want to try, the problem I am having is with the laptop after running
then installing
<typed from memory may not be correct here
and then running
I am getting far more dialog boxes than I had on the server. It seems that I am installing every possible language for the handbook. Is this normal and how can I remove unused ones? What would be the reason I did not see all of these on the server?
PS I am on Ch. 5 of the new handbook, sorry if this is something I am supposed to get to in a later chapter I could not wait to start using the new hardware.
