Re: FreeBSD 5.3 setup help

[LD]

Hi again,

okay, here's what I've done so far... if someone could please help with 
the next steps to take that'd be great!

I'm using FreeBSD 5.3.

I haven't done step 4.4 but have set the Timezone and it seems at some 
point that a script has been added to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ startup 
scripts already to starts/stops gdomap and gdnc but not gpbs (but 
seeing as I hadn't set up X11 as yet this was probably a good thing, 
yes?)...

I've then installed X.org's X11 implementation...
# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install clean

... and have created a working '/etc/X11/xorg.config' file.

But I have no idea (and there doesn't seem to be any useful 
documentation on the WindowMaker.org website) on how to configure 
WindowMaker and set it as the default Window Manager nor indeed how to 
set the desktop environment to the above installed GNUstep desktop.

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

with regards,
