I am installing FreeBSD 9.0 on VMWare Player. In section 2.5.3 of the installation guide it shows that one can choose which components to install. What keys on the keyboard do I need to use to (de)select those options?

I cannot seem to figure it out.

From the page itself: "The bsdinstall menu system is controlled by the arrow keys, Enter, Tab, Space, and other keys". Do those work? – Renan Jan 13 at 18:17
I used that as a reference, but I was following an instruction set from a professor which did not include that information. Thanks again. – Sean Baskin Jan 13 at 23:04
Don't believe professors. The saying goes "Those who can do, do; those who can't, teach." [Always look at the documentation for the exact same stuff you are messing around with. Professor's notes, webpages, comments here will probably all be outdated, faded memories, misunderstandings, or all three.] – vonbrand Jan 22 at 0:21
@vonbrand To this man's credit, he works full time as the head of the infosec for the university's cyber infrastructure. He's an adjunct professor and it's a nighttime graduate class, but advice well taken. – Sean Baskin Jan 23 at 2:27
@SeanBaskin, I was talking about me ;-) – vonbrand Jan 23 at 3:36
