I want to install a FreeBSD  release and the required packages  to work on
the sources
to generate  an easy installable  release and more improvements applied to
it .


The answers to my question is what I want to learn because I did not know
them .
I am not using FreeBSD because FreeBSD was not working on my computers
starting  from release 9.1+ (?) .  Now I want to start again by using a new
computer and release 14  .


Thank you very much .

With my best wishes and happiness everything  good for you .
