Is it worthwhile for someone to quickly knock this into shape or not?
The X Window System
This section is yet to be written.
Briefly, to get X running you will need to
- Install the X window system [from sysinstall or ports?]
- Configure it for your monitor and mouse [brief warning about damage]
- Install and configure the window manager of your choice
There are many ways to start X. One is to type 'startx' at the commandline.
If it doesn't work, check [that X is installed and in your path]
Your window manager will give you a method of getting out of X, but in case
at some stage you can't find it, remember the magic keys Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
Further information is available at [URLs]. If you have problems that can't
be solved after looking there, send mail to FreeBSD-questions
For browsing HTML documents without using X, lynx [is available from...]
