Reinstalling probably broke your ifconfig_xxx lines in /etc/rc.conf. Go back in there and verify that they are sane. > Also how do I install a window manager?

Install the enlightenment port (in ports/x11). 2. Modify .xinitrc (if you use `startx') or .xsession (if you start xdm on system startup) and add `exec enlightenment' to the bottom. Make sure the file is executable, it's a script. Know where you can get addiitonal themes for enlightenment? They're not on the master site. IMHO enlightenment is a little more pretty than useful, but I'm easily impressed :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
