"/stand/sysinstall" is your friend. I just got done doing the same thing on three remote 1U Dell machines without any problems. The first time I recompiled the kernel was to get smp support for the Xeon with hyperthreading and the second time was to enable quota support. Here are the two urls that helped me with ports and compiling the kernel. As long as you are careful to follow the instructions for compiling the kernel, you should not have any problems. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Sorry I don't have the answers to any of your other questions.
