You need to have Xwindows installed. You can do this using sysinstall.
Here are some references.

http://www.xfree86.org/
$ man X
$ man xdm
$ man startx

You also need the actual interface program installed. Such a program is
called a window manager. I recommend KDE for the easiest set up and most
familiar interface. 

http://www.kde.org/

Both of these can be installed using the '/stand/sysinstall' program.

OBTW, This mail message looks much nicer. :)

Thank you,       | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at.
