I installed FreeBSD 6.1 expecting it to give me the maximum

everything needed for it put together, but X was properly linked

should X be linked)?
I got several "error code 1" messages while installing it.
What does this indicate (other that an error occurred)? Can the
message be made more informative? If so, please do
There seems to be a later FreeBSD 6.1 available, I will
try to get and install it.
X is not a part of FreeBSD. One way to get X is to install the package using
pkg_add. X comes with a very simple window manager, twm. You can use that to
install a more functional window manager such as KDE, gnome, ...
There is a desktop project that packages all this together:

I prefer to install the pieces separately. Unless you hit a hardware snag this
can easily be done in an hour using packages (and a broadband connection :) )
