However when I trying to install the system in my computer I am having problems. For one thing once get the first disk finished; it seems that is the only disk the computer needs. In short when do you use the next disks and is it necessary to use them. Secondly, once I get to the root password and logged in how do I start my GUI . Bare with me, I am just a novice in Unix software, if you could give me an answer on that I think that I could take it from there. Well, I am assuming you have a running system but not quite sure. If that is the case, login as root and the first thing you should do is #man adduser #adduser [some options] then log out! Then log in as your new user and #xinit This should bring up X11 and a window manager choosen during the install if you wish to change it. look at ~/.xinitrc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
