Hi - I'm a complete FreeBSD newbie. I have successfully installed the OS (from the Power Pack CD) and configured an X Server. My question is as follows: how exactly do I setup and run the Gnome file manager? That is, I can get Enlightenment up, but I can't get any directory icons, i.e., a file manager, up on the screen. It appears that this may be an execution path issue. I have read the handbook, as well as The Complete FreeBSD book included with the CD and innumerable web-based tutorials, but I have been unable to find any explicit or unambiguous directions regarding this. Do I simply need to copy the entire gnome directory (with subdirectories) into my /usr directory, or am I overlooking something? Also, do I need to make any of the files therein executable? Lastly, what's the best method of configuring the xinitrc file for this setup? The gnome directory currently exists on my root filesystem, untouched after installation. I would have liked to try kde, but apparently the kdelibs1.0 file is required and doesn't seem to appear on the first CD-Rom. If anyone can help me in any way regarding this, I would really appreciate it!
