My home-box is shared between Stable and Current (with most of its time under -Current) and I haven't yet installed Gnome under Current. Anyway : Gnome is evolving rapidly, so you may be somewhat forced to synch at least your ports tree to get it going (furthermore, not all ports run under Current) Hope this helps TfH > > Hello Gang!! > > Just wondering what is the best way to install the GNOME > packages?
