There are a couple of things that im trying to do. 1. Install X-Windows. I tried, I read the FAQ, it seems that the first time I tried it it created the *.log files. yet when I tryed "startx" or "xdm" noting happens. I get "command not found." I admit I am a begginer so I found the FAQ a little hard to digest and still do. Any FAQ on install X for newbies? Do I have have to compile it first before I make it? If, so what dir? 2. This brings me to my next problem. I tried to make World, but instead I got "can't. dont know how to make world" Im stumpted guys. Any suggestions. 3. Lastly, I tried to compile and execute a simple hello world program in C++ on FreeBSD. I got an a.out file yet, when I type "a.out" to try to execute it, it says "file not found." Am I missing something here? Do I need some ports or libraries or something? Any help to these questions would be greatly appreciated for a struggling unix person. Thanks for your time Jeff.
