This is the funniest thing I have ever read Bill, hilarious. You just made
my day :-D
Anyways, Bill along with all the other guys are right, it's huge which is
why it takes so long to compile, however if you install it through
/stand/sysinstall it'll take like 10 minutes to install because it's
precompiled for that version of FreeBSD.
