Got Lazarus, do I need to dl Freepascal also?

[bulrush]

I got Lazarus 1.6.0 and it seems to contain Freepascal 3.0.0. The file is 131mb. Do I need anything else to get started?

Sorry, but I'm new to Freepascal.

No, but you can install a few components if you like. Just start lazarus, create a new application/program and you're good to go.

I can sign that. They don't even seem to like more advanced users there, clearly because of the horrible badge/experience chase being practiced there.
