My system Info: 486 DX2-66, 2GB HD, 24MB RAM. First partition 40 MB for DOS All the rest for FreeBSD ( 50MB for Root, 48MB for swap, and about 1.8 GB for /usr.) VGA: S3-Trio64, 2048 I finish all the installation without too much trouble(includes config X-Server just like I successfully config Linux before). Then I reboot the system. It still goes very well. However, when I type "startx" or "xinit". The system responses "Command Not Found." I check the link between X-Server and X is OK!!! Also, Xf86Config is OK!! I would appreciate if someone could kindly tell me why I can not start X-Wondows????? "Command Not found" What does that mean? The program startx and initx are in the correct directory. Should I use chmod those two files to make them executable???
