I'm trying to refraim my frustration as I can easily install a live cd and be up and running with gnome in a short time with all the compiz glitter and gold I weant to try outy FREEBSD or get some BSD experience it just dosen't make sence that gnome is so much trouble I followed the FAQ http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q3 and after I ended up with gnome 2.22 I started adding the gnome apps then relized it was 2.22 and not 2.24
I tried to follow the upgrade instructions but I don't have portupgrade or pkgdb installed it apears so it's frustrating having instructions that don't work when I installed the latest stable version
right now gnome is not stable at all and even when I get it uptodate I know my packages are going to be out dated firefox 2.0 whgats up with that? why isn't there a good update manager or package manager system why arn't there repositories to at least give me a option
What I want I want the latest stable version of gnome running with compiz grub-gfxboot so I can have a themed boot manager
I can't even get grub working yet got it installed but can't figure out how bsd uses it I am familure with how it works in linux basicly when I try to set my root then I have trouble and get error have tried to follow sevral instructions but there all diffrent and have not worked
the only thing that did work is I was able to install gnome 2.22 and configure it to use the gdm but it is really unstable
sure it would be alot eaiser to install something else I just wanted to get this working this gives me no positive feedback as far as freebsd and a desktop experience
I know this was a big rant without using spell check but just frustrated
