Ok thank God I finally was able to install it and co-exist with windows.

My prob is that I have no internet connection in FreeBSD. How can I get online with my nforce nic. There is a port on there but when I try making it obviously trys to fetch it from and ftp server. Ironic?

You can download the tar.gz file from the FTP servers that host ports (ftp.freebsd.org) and then copy the tar.gz into the /usr/ports/distfiles folder.

Now how you go from downloading to copying to distfiles is kinda up to you; I'd recommend a usb flash drive or mounting your NTFS/FAT partition on BSD and copying from there.

In your home directory, create a file called .xinitrc and put in it:
exec gnomesession

That is, of course, assuming you've installed gnome from ports or packages.
