FreeBSD 9 how to run graphical mode

[adsky]

Hi to all,

I'm a newbie in FreeBSD. It's my first topic here. I have installed FreeBSD 9 on VMWare, after installing I'm trying to run graphical mode with console, but startx command shows an error.

How to run graphical mode?

I tried:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
# make install clean

errors:

>>fetch not address record
>>python27 stopped

>>fetch not address record
>>python27 stoped

Sounds like a problem with your Internet connection - did you even configure that to begin with?

$ ping forums.freebsd.org

What happens?

cannot resolve forums.freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure,

I haven't right internet connection

How to configure it?

My preferred way would be this. You need virtual interface on your windows host machine to forward traffic to FreeBSD guest.

This is getting old, but you may be better off installing PC-BSD.
