Almost nothing is bundled. But it is available in ports and installing it is one of the special options during a standard installtion. Please correct me if I'm wrong: GNOME (or KDE) in included in FreeBSD downloaded file but it isn't installed by default, but it can be installed during installation process if I want to. If I'm wrong, does this mean that I have to connect to Internet during FreeBSD installation? Thanks.

I suppose it depends on the graphics card model, but probably. Check that hardware compatibility list. In this case it would be compatibility with Xorg since that is the display/graphics system. > Does FreeBSD come bundled with GNOME? It is not bundled. Almost nothing is bundled.
