X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2004 03:18:48 -0000 I don't know if this is the correct list. Here is my question: I am trying to install FreeBSD (version 5.2.1 but I am going to try and install 4.8 later tonight). I am having problems installing either kde or Gnome because files for X are not be installed. I am trying this on a Compaq 1610 (P1MMX, 1.5G HD, 80M RAM). I known its an old system but I want to get it up as a web browser/wordprocessor. Any idea why this is not working would be helpful. _________________________________________________________________ Get rid of annoying pop-up ads with the new MSN Toolbar – FREE! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200414ave/direct/01/
