By = about what seems 3/4 the way through, my hdd is full and theres no way = this option is open to me. I have tried copying all the packages across = from FreeBSD 6 cd 2 across to my hdd but the 'make' command doesnt work, = which im guessing is due to the fact there is no .tar.gz file to build = from? My question is, how can I install this GUI, or will it be easier to = install an alternative with less graphics and tag along programs? I'm essentially getting a GUI going due to the fact I'm new to Unix as a = whole and would be good to assist learning of the OS and the shell. Due = to this, something like a windows clone Gnome or KDE may be good, but = I'm just as willing to have to learn to use a good GUI that isnt windows = clone. Thankyou.
