How can I install Xorg, if there is no internet connection ? I means offline installation of Xorg ? I got a lot error codes, relating to accessing the http sites. Please advise. Thank you. ______________________________________________________________________ ____ John Murphy wrote: On Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:23:26 +0800 williamkow [1]<williamkow@yahoo.com> wrote: # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 # make install. ==> XFree86-3.3.6_11 is marked as broken: Does not build on FreeBSD >=6.x. *** Error code 1 Is that means, the XFree86 should not install and run on my newly installed FreeBSD 6.2-Release ? Yes. You need to install xorg instead. You can use pkg_add -r xorg which would be quicker than building the port. It's explained very well in the handbook, which also tells how to configure it when the install has finished: [2]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html There's also a section (5.7.3.1) on enabling The KDE Display Manager: [3]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html References 1. mailto:williamkow@yahoo.com 2. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html 3. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html
