The easiest was to run games is to but /usr/games into your path, or "cd /usr/games" and run a game by prepending "./". There4s also dm, but well... Have you installed XWindow yet? If not, you will have to go to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and "make all install clean", and do the same in XFree86-contrib. If you have installed XWindow, add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path to run it. cu Jo --------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - top breeders recommend it Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Germany
