FreeBSD Installation?

Question

I've tried like 28 different distros of Linux/Unix, including DesktopBSD and PC-BSD. But for the life of me I can't get a graphical environment up and running with FreeBSD (I downloaded the DVD iso and install it using a VirtualBox virtual machine that has plenty of installation space)

Any quick install steps to help out?

Answer 1

Did you download the version created for pc computers.

Answer 2

I'm not all that up on VirtualBox but generally when you want to get X up and running you type, as root X --configure. Used to be you could type xorgcfg or xorgconfig but no they don't work on the latest version of the server.

Answer 3

you say you downloaded the .iso file, when you did that you you convert the file to write the boot the file to a disk, or did you just copy the file to a CD/DVD?

you need a dvd ISO burner software package to burn the dvd with, check out the links belows for free software and read how you make a ISO dvd
