Good Morning, I am having problems installing FreeBSD 5.3. It appears that the installation options do not include: "Configure XFree86 Server" and "Configure XFree86 Desktop". I am aware that version 5.3 now uses "Xorg" vice "Xfree86" as the default X-Windows system.
I am fluent in several varies of Unix (Solaris, HPUX, Red Hat, SCO), but am new to FreeBSD. When installing FreeBSD 5.0, I was given the 2 above options, and was able to set a Gnome Desktop. Numerous attempts to install FreeBSD 5.3, I was never given the above options, and although I was eventually able to get a brain-dead Gnome desktop to appear, I couldn't do anything with it. QUESTIONS: 1) Why doesn't the FreeBSD 5.3 install give configuration options for the X-Windows server and desktop? 2) If the answer to #1 is that the "Xorg" implementation doesn't contain these, then please help me find the "easiest" way to setup the Gnome desktop following a new fresh installation. My intent is to continue playing with FreeBSD, and explore "kick start" here at work. Thank you for your help, Have A Wonderful Day, Ivan Frank "Ivan" Woloschak AG Communication Systems 623.581.4123 Beeper: 888.235.4081 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
