I would expect the intent is to deliver a working install. My point is that using portinstall did not produce that outcome ... following the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/ do. I just happen to like portupgrade and portinstall. Installing the xorg port did bring along a lot of old X friends, like twm and xkill. I wonder if xorg-minimal would have sufficed? As of last night I almost have the ndis driver for the built-in Intel 5100 wifi ready to test. It shows up in ifconfig, I just need to configure it. Not much joy watching YouTube, is gnash falling behind? Maybe it is just my slow network connection. Gary Dunn Open Slate
