Installing Gnome and Xorg from installation DVD

the dvd. Somehow or the other sysinstall can not mount the dvd. So i

my /root. Now what should i do to install a working gnome2 desktop? if i
give something like pkg_add -vn *, it reports several missing

anything?


2. I want to see codes for the base system. During installation i've
selected "source" to be installed. there are sources for "some" packages
in /usr/source but for some i see only Makefiles. How to get these other
sources?

3. I alway use git and svn. and i'm not looking forward to learn cvs. I
want my "base" system source tree to be updated through svn. Now does
the sources included in dvd is tracked by svn or cvs? i mean to get the
latest development snapshot for the "base" system should i have to do
something more or i just can do "svn update"?
