Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html. The long and short of it is make sure you have KDE installed and then = do echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc Now when you run startx KDE should launch automatically. The FreeBSD handbook is a wonderful resource and can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html, = most of your questions can be answered by reading it.=20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: Eric B.

If = this is not the correct place to ask quetions like the one below please = advise and I will follow. Thanks. I have FreeBSD 5.1 installed, I know the startx command and am familiar = with using it from Mandrak-Linux. However, when I use the startx command = with FreeBSD it gives me an X-Window environment. What file do I have to configure to have KDE start by using the startx command and how do I configure it? Thanks for all of your help and response in advance.
