Hi Harold, That should not happen. I assume you ran 'pkg install xorg', which=20 should finish nicely in 1-2 hours once you accept the installation. If you are facing problems, can you please provide the exact command and=20 errors output ? Can you install anything at all ? The following is a=20 good way to check whether the basic pkg system is okay : pkg install bash That will install the bash shell, which you can use as your default=20 shell if you then issue the command : chsh- s /usr/local/bin/bash If you cannot install bash, then something is seriously wrong : perhaps=20 your disk is full. Check that with 'df -h'. If you can provide=20 specifics, you will get all the help you need at this forum. Regards Manish Jain
