I really appreciate it. What you have suggested worked quite well. But I wonder, where I could I have learned this. Is there some mysterious set of documentation that I should have read before heading out on the road of FreeBSD? I had the same problem installing gnome for the first time. Oh it installed all right but it took me an hour and posting to a news group to figure out how to call the executable (it seem you need not call startx. StartX, gnome. I would never have guessed that. So where would I go to learn about that kind of stuff?
