I'm trying to make a transfer from Microsoft systems to Unix systems, and am now trying to learn FreeBSD. To this end, I have used the MINI-ISO installation CD and FTP server to get my BSD box up and running. I have select only the package that I plan on using for the installation. X is up and running using twm, but I can't seem to get GNOME to run. I used the "make clean" followed by "make clean install" method to install GNOME, and it seemed to work. My basic question is how do I start GNOME? I've tried used gnome-session, but that doesn't seem to work correctly. I've used the 'startx' script to access X, then tried 'gnome-session' from a xterm windows, but that didn't work quite right either. Any ideas you can give me would be greatly helpful. Thanks! What do you mean by, "it didn't work?" This is rather vague. gnome-session is the proper way to start GNOME from either startx or *dm. If you want more help, checkout the FreeBSD GNOME project website at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/.
