I am very impressed with FBSD. I have used the handbook to do many things. But I do notice that some sections are not newbie oriented. I mean, there seems to be steps that are missing in it, sort of taken for granted that the person using the handbook already knows what is to be done. Then one has to keep searching. If a simple howto install FBSD with every step could be done, with 'special notes' 'important' sections(of points where there would likely be issues, like in the present handbook version).
I installed FBSD, then Xorg-minimal and got stuck. I had to re-install with the full Xorg. There was no pointer in the handbook about this for a newbie. As it is installing, there are instructions of configurations, but then where is that to be found, afterwards? A newbie does not know.
For those who would like using different desktop environments, or wm's - detailed and no missing steps, instructions would be helpful and make installation and use speedy.
