FreeBSD has no GUI. Read The Handbook, or one of the other dozens of threads about this.

Or, if you are that new, start with PC-BSD to get your feet wet.

hi, is easy configuration GUI in bsd. Go the line of command...

# sysinstall

select Package -> x11 -> xorg 4.x and kde4.x

next installl package.
next configure file /etc/rc/conf
copy

# nano /etc/rc.conf

add lines:
Code:
dumpdev="AUTO"
sshd_enable="YES"
mouse_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
kdm4_enable="YES"
Save and exit. Reboot

I don't believe nano is part of kde4. Though ee is on the system for new users delaying the inevitable of learning vi.

And do not use the packages enclosed with the install medium. Those packages are old.
