two quick server setup questions

I am setting up a Free BSD 4.8 server in a lab for my networking class. All it will do is Samba File Sharing. I configured the xwindows system and can startup KDE. However, the resolution was set to 640x480. I'd like to set it to 1024x768. How do you change the resolution? Is there a GUI tool the is part of the KDE control center?

Also, I tried to configure the samba server and it said I need to install samba server. Is that on the install CD? Would it be on CD #2? Do I get to it through sysinstall?

I would not (and do not) use X for a server. It pays.

I think samba should be on one of the first two installation CDs. If so, you can install it by /stand/sysinstall.
If not, and you installed the ports tree (/usr/ports), and you have internet connection, then you can get and install samba easily:
Go into the samba directory in the ports tree (/usr/ports/networking/samba?), and type:
make install
This will automatically download and install samba.
