Greetings !!

I am installing FreeBSD 4.8 onto my Windows XP system, via VMware 
4.0, and I am having trouble with getting X to work.

I have recalled that the best way to get X to work, is to go back to
stand/sysinstall, and choose the step-by-step method, rather than
the all-in-one method.  I am coming from a Windoze world and sort of
dependent on pretty pictures and such.  Indeed, I feel like an addict, 
and need to wean myself slowly.

I have got the system up and running, just using the command line
(which is good), as I am told that the command line is the most important
part of the FreeBSD system.

Any help will be appreciated - I am a complete newbie in this regard.
