I have 2 very quick questions/comment about installation from the = FreeBSD CDs, and X-window: When I try to install the X.org distribution, it sends an error message = that says it cannot find the packages/INDEX on the specified media. I = checked on the CD 2, and there it is, the full ports collection, but the = index file is named INDEX-5 instead of INDEX, so I think it might be the = problem. If someone knows how to install all ports from the CDs, can you tell me = to this mail, I will be very thankful for it..! The second question is: when I execute 'Xorg' at the prompt, it starts = the graphics display, but I have no windows nor desktops, nothing but = the mouse pointer. Do I have to install something else ? (Maybe from = ports collection - which one?) I am relatively new to UNIX, my platform is i386, I downloaded the ISO = CD images from the ftp site and I burned those images to the CDs (I see = the files/dirs on the CD, not the ISO file itself) Thanks!
