Installing packages in FreeBSD 4.8 [quot] [ports]
Q: Any difference between the two? I would say
Let windowsmaker
1 install – Use sysinstall – quicker
2 seems a bit – go to / usr / ports and do a make clean install – seems longer
I take option two builds of the source is, its “Customize” your system to better rotate

I use edit for little stuff, like changing an IP, but I love that yy and p command in vi:)
Yep 
I have to code all day when I'm at work and I would absolutely go insane without vi

and i tried
pkg_add pine4

You need the -r. RTFM

i tried vi once and i hated it becuz i cant remember if im in the edit mode or not. i hit 'X' and i'm delete instead of typing the letter.
It says –INSERT– right at the bottom when you're in insert mode.
if i do a 'pkg_add' wouldnt I have to have the package already?
pkg_add will download the package and install it.

Odd way yes, but after an installation i like to add packages that i really need first.
pkg_add would be a better way then. make a list of packages you want, throw that in a text file, for pkg in `cat file`; do pkg_add -r $pkg; done! 
like pico … i hate vi!
I said the same thing at one point. Hopefully you will eventually realize how great vi is

When you go to /usr/ports and make install, you're compiling it.
And no, most of the time it won't run any differently. The only difference would possibly be if you change options you want/don't want at compile time, but that's usually not that often for most things.
