Ok first of all, and dont take offense to this, you should NOT be running
-current or any BETA. You need to install a -RELEASE. 2.2.7 is the latest
release. Once you install 2.2.7, to get a window manager to work you have
to install X. Install ports, cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 ; make
Once it builds and your happy with your selection of video server and the
like do make install. Then go install your window manager.
