If you check out the handbook it states that the X installation has been removed from the instalation setup (which frankly is not a big issue for most users IMO due to the fact that few people would want to run X on a server platform which I recon would be a majority of the user base for FreeBSD). In any event they point to directions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html > > 2) If the answer to #1 is that the "Xorg" implementation doesn't contain these, then please help me find the "easiest" way to setup the Gnome desktop following a new fresh installation. > this should be outlined in the above doc. good luck. -pete -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group
