I have installed FreeBSD three times now via FTP and I include everything in the packages section and in the distribution section I believe that is what it is called. The question I have is that when I have tried this from 2 or 3 different sites and go to use the configuration tool to setup XWindows I get the message, " XFree86 is not installed on your computer please install this to use the configuration utility." Or something along those lines. The thing I don't understand is that when I am retrieving the files across the internet it is saying that the files are being downloaded and uncompressed to my pc. I have tried the express and the novice install just to be sure that I wasn't making any mistakes and still no go. Could this be caused by corrupted files on your end and when I am downloading them they are there but just don't work. If someone could get back to me and give me some insight as to what may be happening or what steps I may be able to take to resolve this that would be great. I really would like to get this as my main OS because everyone is looking for IX based administrators and I would really like to be able to have these skills.
