You can select your default window manager/desktop environment by configuring ~/.xinitrc. To start KDE, put 'exec startkde' in your ~/.xinitrc file. Execute 'man startx' for more information. If you want the computer to boot to a GUI, you'll have to configure xdm, kdm or gdm. You can find more information about these in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould
