>FreeBSD has ports and packages for various GNOME
      applications (including Gnumeric) as well as a port for the
      entire GNOME project that will install all GNOME-specific
      programs via dependencies.  If you have the CDROM mounted under
      <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/cdrom</TT
> (the name of the mountpoint
      <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>is</I
> important) or you have a working
      internet connection and the time to download for a while, you
      can install GNOME on your FreeBSD box (3.1 or later, possibly
      early as well) by typing:</P

>To learn more about the FreeBSD Ports Collection you can
      visit <A

>http://www.freebsd.org/ports</A
>.  If you
      don't have an internet connection, but do have a docs
      distribution, you can also find more information at
      <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/share/doc/handbook23.html</TT
>.  This
      document will also tell you how to install GNOME as pre-built
      packages (binaries) using <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>pkg_add</B
>, if you
      have the CDROM.  Currently (for 3.1-RELEASE), you will need to
      install the following packages: <TT

>gnomelibs</TT

      <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>gnomeaudio</TT
