+As of 10.X > freeBSD will automatically allow the native pkg manager to install ports.  This allows the user to avoid compiling from source and navigating to directories.  Therefore, there is now a reason to build pkg from source - it will do this work for you more effectively.  (So what?  You can now search ports and geek out, and then use those names with pkg and sit back while it does the work!)
   pkg install <pkgname>
-You may still, however, compile the package from source.  Just like the non-internet step installation of pkg requires above:

+You can set up a DE by installing nano, xorg, & mate-desktop, xfce, gnome3, kde, etc., and an appropriate window manager and window server.  I choose gnome3 on bigger machines and xfce on smaller, but everyone has their preference.  For servers, I leave it off.  I always use xorg and slim for xfce, and gnome has its own when using that.  Anyway, here goes:
-Ok, this is a good time to:
-  reboot
-Then, probably get all your common packages:
-  pkg install cmus
-  pkg install irssi
-  pkg install lynx
-  pkg install nano
-  pkg install libreoffice
-  pkg install gimp
-  pkg install firefox
-  pkg install chromium
-  pkg install alpine
-  pkg install mutt
-  pkg install <lotsmore>
-Once nano, xorg, & mate-desktop are installed, set-up a "desktop" (GUI) such as.  KDE, Gnome, MATE, etc.  Tap F1 at the log-in screen to toggle between
-  pkg install mate mate-desktop
-Desktops require "Window Managers" in order to function, such as.  Fluxbox, WindowMaker, X11, xwm, etc. - for ease, use xorg:
+  pkg install mate mate-desktop [or]
+  pkg install gnome3 [or]
+  pkg install xfce [or]
   pkg install xorg
-You will need a way to switch between desktops, and one convenient package is:
   pkg install slim
--------------------------------------------
-Technically, that is all you need file-wise, but the /etc/ directory needs adjusting.  Consider adjusting build release date for pkg
-  nano /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
-Replace /latest with /release/0/ or whatever.  If you do that, then run these to update the package manager to that version:
-  pkg upgrade
-  pkg update
