Yes. You need to install xorg instead. You can use pkg_add -r xorg which would be quicker than building the port. It's explained very well in the handbook, which also tells how to configure it when the install has finished: [2]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html There's also a section (5.7.3.1) on enabling The KDE Display Manager: [3]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html References 1. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html 3. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Presuming you have the install disk 1: Log in as root and type sysinstall Down arrow to Configure and press enter Down arrow to Distributions, press enter Down arrow all the way to X.Org, press enter Select the parts of the distribution set you require in a similar way. Press the tab key to switch between the selections and the OK box. When you're happy with your selections up arrow to Exit which will take you back to the previous page. Press enter again and you should then be able to choose the installation media. It is harder to describe than to do. -- Thanks, John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
