the ~/ means your home diretcory
ie /root if your logged in as root
and you typed
cd ~/
it would cd you into /root
if you were logged in as siraj and you typed cd ~/
it would cd you into /home/siraj ...
follow...?
so vi ~/.xinitrc

and ill agree here with chris, it is an extremely bad practice to run X as
root, you should always login as a user if you need to do maintenance or
something you can always use su or sudo

I installed Gnome2-lite as a package. I then inserted the following line
gnome_enable=YES
in rc.conf
and also inserted the line
exec gnome-session
in the xinitrc file. | type startx after this, but gnome desktop
doesnt load up. Instead the usual x windows screen loads up.
Please Help!

I just finished compiling gnome2 from the ports. But
now how do I start? I added the line exec gnome to
my .xsession and .xinitrc files, typed in startx, and
got an error saying, could not find gnome. Is there
a different syntax?
Thanks in advance,
