For GUI, you install xorg, which is in the ports tree at $PORTSDIR/x11/xorg : metaport for the full xorg installation. For wireless networking, you will need to read the section in the FreeBSD Handbook, and be sure to check wpa_supplicant. For printing, a lot depends on what kind of printer you have. If you have HP printer, it becomes more complicated (I speak from experience), and you will need print/hplip. Also, better to change the subject line since this is no longer about dual booting. Tom
