so bascially you saying mr -rf /usr/X11R6 and pkg_remove qt/gtk to get the majority of graphical apps and then pkg_delete the remaining graphical apps and then install X from the ports and start all over again installing my apps from ports? it wouldn't be bad at all if i could do it without reinstalling all my apps. or did you mean that i only had to reinstall my apps that install in /usr/X11r6? if so how do i tell which ones that is? i have alot of graphical stuff installed that would take a LONG time to compile/install via ports. is there any other way? thanks nathan On Thu, 25 Oct 2001 11:29:19 +1000 edwin@mavetju.org wrote: > On Wed, Oct 24, 2001 at 09:05:50PM -0400, Nathan Mace wrote: > > i have X windows 3.3.6 installed on my 4-4STABLE machine.
