Thanks mousaka.

But when I use the 'Configure Network Settings' or 'Adjust Date & Time' menu options from the applets in my GNOME panel, I am given a dialog that
says:

The platform you are running is not supported by this tool.If you know for sure that it works like one of the platforms listed below,you can select that and continue. Note, however, that this might damage the system configuration or downright cripple your computer.

What's wrong with the boring GNOME?

Quite likely you're not running hald, dbus and gdm.

Did you try to find a solution for your first problem? It seems to me that your jumping from one error to the next error

Nothing, just select FreeBSD version and click Ok. Otherwise use shell prompt to set date and ntp client ;)

@SirDice
I checked that all of hald,dbus,gdm are running.

@FBSDin20Steps
I apologize for my orderless. I thought the cause of second problem is the first problem.The solution of my first question is @mousaka.But the Gnome still don't work well.

@vivek
I can't select FreeBSD version. When I click on the FreeBSD version,the 'ok' button becomes gray.When I choose the arch linux or other linux version,the menu popup also can't be modified.

[mousaka]

Some of the "GNOME-Tools" don't recognize FreeBSD 8.0 until now. Maybe this might be your problem.

I didn't look into that so far, just noticed it. Maybe you should open a PR.

I can't select FreeBSD version. When I click on the FreeBSD version,the 'ok' button becomes gray.
Make sure procfs is mounted.

[Onia]

I mounted the proc & linproc,the situation become better, When I select the Linux version,the popup dialog box can be changed now,but where I modify is not really modified. It can't be saved.

[SirDice]

You do not need linux_base or any of the linux tools in Gnome. It should work fine with the native FreeBSD tools.

[Onia]

I feel puzzled.
