Cool, ThanksI can help get you to a fully functional x11-wm/fluxbox desktop from there if that's your ultimate goal, and your hardware plays nice. Just skip the first part to where you're already at the login terminal and go from there. If you'd rather use pkg instead of ports you will need to consult the handbook, however:

Which handbook do you mean? There are several options here.The 'handbook' and 'faq' files are .html ....
I tried to read them with 'xo' but it didn't work ....

If you installed the handbook from the ports collection then it will be in several formats, not just HTML. So txt and PDF are also a thing. I'm now referring to misc/freebsd-doc-en for example. The handbook would be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt.
But if you mean the online handbook then you'll need a browser. You could set up a GUI but it might be easier to rely on www/lynx or www/links, both are text browsers and will allow you to access the handbook from the console.
