Has the index format changed from > 1014 in ALPHA? No, Xfree upgraded. You should install XFree by pulling down the distfiles in 2.2-ALPHA/XF8632 and extracting them in /usr/X11R6. Of course, pull only the distributions you want. Use sysinstall as a guide since it gives the short names of the distributions. Optionally, use sysinstall, MOUNT the filesystems (don't NEWFS them!), use a custom install, and just install XFree.
