However, I am unable to run these packages. Like for instances, I want to run the X - Windows environment. I am unable to run it. I went to the specific directory for example the XFree86 - 4 directory and typed "make && make install clean" at the command prompt but however I am unable to get the X - windows environment running. I do not know how to use the "pkg_add" command. In other words I cannot get the programs, ports, distributions or the packages running which I had already downloaded. Any help will be helpful.
