Solved After installation, can't login.

Awesome. Can you tell me what you did? I would like to replicate it.

Well there's the thing, I'm not sure what I did differently. But I'll try.

I ran the installation, full disk, UFS partition. Upon installation of the OS, I rebooted.

Then I installed, in order:

nano
xorg
xfce

After that, I modified /etc/rc.conf to include

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
xfce_enable="YES"

Then I modified .xinitrc and ~/ .xinitrc to include

exec startxfce4

Then I rebooted. That's how I remember it, anyway. I made the mistake of running the installation with ethernet. I couldn't figure out how to start wifi, despite documentation.

edit: I just did the above on a virtual machine. It worked. Modifying the .xinitrc and ~/ .xinitrc might be superfluous, I'm not sure. xfce doesn't come with a login manager, I think.

Anyway, it worked.

I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let you know what happens
