Lets just say that my current financial status forces me to do this without the CD for now! I selected the ports during installation and think I have what I need to get some of the programs running. Anyway I have a /usr/ports/ directory which is full of stuff. In particular I would like to get the sunclock program running. Do I have to get X-Windows running first. And If so, how do I do that. Please phrase your answer in the simplest terms as many of the responses I have received to date assume I know what to do in between the steps. I am a total greeny on this, although I'm a CNE with Novell, UNIX is still very new to me.
