If you DIDN'T install XFree86 or the KDE desktop manager, both can be installed from the system installer. If you need help installing and setting up XFree86 or KDE, we can help you with that, too. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
