Do I just reboot. This seems awkward. yea sorta, exit sysinstall and then it will ask if you want to shutdown and reboot. > > Also, is X-Windows working.

You can call it X, X11, X11R6, X Window System, etc. but never call it "X Windows", Anyways... The X configuration part was taken out of sysinstall. I don't know if you installed X (you'd know if you did though) but to set it up you can run "Xorg -configure" and do what it says. Read chapter 5 of the FreeBSD handbook (at least read sections; 5.2, 5.4, and 5.7) for more info: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html
