[-- Attachment #1 --] To whom it may concern, I cant get X to install. I installed FreeBSD and rebooted, logged in, and typed "startx" and it couldent find it. Perhapse this was due to a message i recieved during installation that said "Xfree86 3.xxx could not be installed" and the only option was the "abort" option. I have a voodoo banshee card, and I dont think its the graphics card. I had 6 gigs to work with. do i just start over and try to install ALL of the ports? the install only used the first CD. I just bought the FreeBSD powerpak 4.2 from amazon.com because I hate Linux. I just want to use a UNIX-type OS. What do I do???????? Help, please!!!!!!!
