It depends if you added it during install. Try startx.

If it doesnt work you should get an error message telling you what it didnt like.

I need to know too. Not sure whether to laugh 'cause you're joking, feel sorry for you for doing it, or laugh because you really did do it.

Fuckit - I'm gonna laugh anyway.

WARNING: / was not properly dismounted

Think along the lines of formet c: - not quite but in linux it's close enough. :D

Just reinstall FreeBSD - try again

oh

shit

[AnnihilaT]

WHahaha!!! lol!

oh oh oh oh......

Mistat you have been had by the oldest trick in the book. You have just erased the bulk of your hardrive. Now you need to reinstall.

P.S. You are too stupid to run BSD/Linux/UNIX. Go install Win2k Server or something.


Edited to add: If you really wanna learn about *NIX/BSD....

RTFM!!!! and try again.

Assuming you are not joking about the rm command and assuming you actually do wish to continue with a BSD server, why run X?

Just load apache and SSL, shut down all ports except those you intend to use and you are good to go.
