GNOME installation docs suggest adding gnome_enable="YES" to rc.conf.  There is 
no suggestion regarding /etc/ttys.

Ok


With respect from someone who wants to "get it right" and "not be dependent on 
the mailing list", I have a question:

The KDE installation page make does not describe:
- rc.conf entries, if any
- tty settings, if any
- KDM start procedures, if any
- the name of the .xinitrc command to start KDE, if any

Does this mean:
a) KDE setup is obvious and I am dumb for not knowing
b) I didn't read the man page well enough
c) KDE is meant for power users, I should stick with GNOME.
d) [your idea here]

I see.  Maybe

e) I'm looking in the wrong place.  Read the docs on "KDE configuration" not 
"KDE installation".

Thank you all for helping me these last few days,

Chris
