+	  <P>There are two ways to install GNOME on FreeBSD.  One way is to use 
+	  <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.html">packages</a>, and the other way is to use <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html">ports</a>.</P>
+
+	  <P>To install GNOME from packages, use the command:</P>
+
+	  <TT># pkg_add -r gnome</TT>
+
+	  <P>This will download the latest GNOME packages from the FreeBSD FTP
+	  site, and proceed to intall them on your system.  <B>Note:</B> As of
+	  4.4-STABLE, installing GNOME from packages is broken.  You should 
+	  instead use the ports method below.</P>
+
+	  <P>To build and install GNOME from ports, you should first 
+	  <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html">cvsup</a> the latest ports tree.  Then:</P>
+
+	  <PRE>
+# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
+# make all install clean
+	  </PRE>
+
+	  <P>Building from ports is the preferred method for installing GNOME
+	  on FreeBSD.</P>
+
+	  <P>After GNOME is installed, you should edit <tt>/etc/make.conf</tt>,
+	  and add the following lines.  If <tt>/etc/make.conf</tt> does not
+	  exist, create the file, then add the following lines:</P>
+
+      <PRE>
+WITH_GTK=yes
+WITH_ESOUND=yes
+WITH_GNOME=yes
+      </PRE>
+
+	  <P>This last step is optional, but these lines enable other ports, 
+	  such as XMMS, to take advantage of the GNOME installation.</P>

+Imlib

+gnomecore
