I've just installed FreeBSD 2.0 and all of the packages except games and
dict. Is 'srcdist' and srcrdist' necessary for application development? I
would imagine the compiler and the proflibs is, at a minimum, all that is
needed. Is this true? Also, if I need to install an additional package
after the initial install, what is the shell script for copying the
package off the CD?
