first of all u need to locate gnome, run the following command as root:

===[root] ~ # whereis gnome
gnome: /usr/ports/japanese/gnome /usr/ports/x11/gnome
===[root] ~ #


Ok, now u know where gnome is in the ports.. so u do this:

===[root] ~ # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
===[root] /usr/ports/x11/gnome #


and then u run the following command to install it:

===[root] /usr/ports/x11/gnome # make install clean


After that u just setup need to make sure that gnome is the default desktop
and that it is started everytime u run the startx command.


Hope This Helps
