Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this is entirely possible. I suggest of course using ports to install KDE or GNOME, since the packages in the official DVD will be older than the one you already installed and may cause problems.

I must admit I am not much of a GNOME user myself, at least when it comes to FreeBSD (where I mostly use XFCE). I do use it on some linux machines, but I find it a bit overkill on FreeBSD, esp. when it comes to upgrading. That said, after installing in and configuring it on my test system last...

Continuing the effort in producing custom FreeBSD builds, I am pleased to announce a GNOME-based one. This includes a complete GNOME 2.26.2 desktop and also the gnome-power-tools and gnome-fifth-toe package collections. Important: There appears to be a problem with the package INDEX on the...

The custom build is still FreeBSD all the way. It only supports what the base system does - although I can build it with different versions of base (7.2-RELEASE, 7.2-STABLE, CURRENT etc). It will never support anything more (or less) than FreeBSD. What I will do at some point though, is to...

Good move, required for the instructions that will follow ;) Although the MBR was not installed, sysinstall marked your FreeBSD partition active, hence you are always booting FreeBSD. As root, execute: fdisk -a /dev/ad0 (substitute ad0 with your actual disk device name) Change the...

Announcing Web Site! This project now has a website: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com It will be used as a central hub for information, to provide download links, and also announce new releases (although I will also post about them in the forums and the -questions mailing list)...

Nice idea, but I doubt I can get the resources for it. I will create disks with separate DE/WMs though.
