I'm sure this is a simply question that most people can answer, but I could use a little help. I'm trying to make a transfer from Microsoft systems to Unix systems, and am now trying to learn FreeBSD. To this end, I have used the MINI-ISO installation CD and FTP server to get my BSD box up and running. I have select only the package that I plan on using for the installation. X is up and running using twm, but I can't seem to get GNOME to run. I used the "make clean" followed by "make clean install" method to install GNOME, and it seemed to work. My basic question is how do I start GNOME? I've tried used gnome-session, but that doesn't seem to work correctly. I've used the 'startx' script to access X, then tried 'gnome-session' from a xterm windows, but that didn't work quite right either. Any ideas you can give me would be greatly helpful. Thanks!
