I tried and got:
	
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Too many connections [1040]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

USB 3.0 hard drive is not accessible from USB 2.0 ports on motherboard but is accessible from USB 2.0 ports on a bracket that connects to USB 2.0 headers on motherboard.

But this hard drive is 3 TB with GPT.

FreeBSD ports include subversion, GCC, mingw with GCC 4.7.2, cmake 2.8.11.2, ninja 1.4.0, but I might still want to see how these tools are integrated in the RosBE.

I don't really want to burn CDs that would quickly become outdated.

I'd rather use USB stick and be able to rewrite/update..
