[-- Attachment #1 --]
I have just installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 because I need to learn how to use multiple Operating Systems, I have well above average knowledge of DOS, Windows 3.1x/95/NT and OS/2 Warp 3. My next task is to learn FreeBSD. I have it on a Dual-Boot system with Windows 95 and OS/2 (or should that be triple boot ?!?)

The problem is that the only thing I can get the god-damned thing to do is run the Installation Program by typing /stand/sysinstall .  Is there any way of getting a Graphical User Interface, can I download one, is there one with FreeBSD ?

Also, How do you play the games, I have several games installed with FreeBSD like Doom and NetHack. How do I run these ??

Your Help is appreciated.
