I had many problems with the graphical stuff as well and decided to install all the heavy weight stuff with binary packages, besides it made no sense for me to wait I don't know how many hours to compile things like OpenOffice and Gnome. For other things I compile everything and hardly have any problems at all. Make sure your ports are up to date and that you have chosen a correct release for your needs. Tip: in FBSD the word stable has a completely different meaning than in the LInux world ;-) > > P.S.: 1 week not i haven't manage to install a graphical enviroment > > > thanks in advance > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
