InstallingGNOMEInFreeBSDAndStartingGNOME
How to install GNOME in FreeBSD and start GNOME To install the GNOME package from the network, simply type: # pkg_add -r gnome2 To build GNOME from source, use the ports tree: # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 # make install clean Once GNOME is installed, the X server must be told to start GNOME instead of a default window manager. Enabled by adding gdm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Once rebooted, GNOME will start automatically. GNOME may also be started from the command-line by properly configuring a file named .xinitrc. #% echo "/usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc And then start GNOME using the command below. #startx
