If included, what command is used to start it? It's included, but not installed. After boot under command line mode, login as root and type '#pkg_add -r xorg' (without quotes). When install ends, you can use startx or xinit to enter X mode. The default wm is a bit rude, install the one you want, f.ex. '#pkg_add -r kde4', '#pkg_add -r gnome2', '#pkg_add -r xfce4'. After install use '#rehash ' and/or '#hash -r'. Start each wm using proper command, startkde4, startxfluxbox, check docs or sail the web for that. > C.) What shell is installed as the standard shell in command line mode? Plain sh. Minimal, standard, works, rocks. > D.) Is there a site that I can download a complete copy of the documentation for Free-BSD, as one file and not a series/set of separate files? The handbook has single html mode. > Thank you for your assistance. > Ms. R. Olivarez > (E-mail: r_olivarez@juno.com HTH --- --- Eduardo Morras
