Message after installing

GDM is installed.

Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time.  This will result in gdm
hanging or restarting constantly. Instead, add gdm_enable="YES" to
/etc/rc.conf. GDM will be started automatic on the next reboot.

To really remove the gdm port, please remove the following
directories manualy:

/var/cache/gdm /var/gdm /var/log/gdm and /var/run/gdm
