I recently purchased a copy of FreeBSD and installed it. I not sure if this
is the right place to send these kind of questions but I'll ask anyways.
When trying to start X-windows I type "startx" but all I get in return is a
huge error message that reads as follows:

execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 2)
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2);unable to connect to X server
Xinit: No such process (errno 3);server error

I have reinstalled FreeBsd several times but can't seen to troubleshoot this
message. It may eb easy for everyone else but i'm only 15 and can't get this
thing straightened out. Would you happen to know how to remedy this problem?
If so please e-mail me at myke@programmer.net
