Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It appears that you have things working. You appear to be already logged-in. How did you start X? You need to do some reading about basic unix and X. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html 'For People New to Both FreeBSD and Unix' You should also get 'The Complete FreeBSD' book. Look at http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm What do you mean by 'fin ls'? If you mean that the error was 'ls: Command not found.', then, from within one of the xterm's, try '/bin/ls' If '/bin/ls' works, then your path variable is messed up. Look at 'man ls'.
