I should mention here, that you can enter sysinstall at any time after  
installing the system by typing 'sysinstall' at your shell prompt. So  
you can go back and change any of these things..

All it is actually doing is altering /etc/rc.conf for the most part,  
which you can do by hand, though it sounds as if you may find using  
sysinstall easier..

I don't recall if sysinstall configures x11 or gives you the option  
to, but in a lot of cases running 'Xorg -configure' as root is  
sufficient, as it will automatically detect your video card and  
monitor..

Have you ever used X windows? Any experience with linux or another  
bsd? Or is this the first time you have tried anything like this?
