This would have been easier than the method I was working to use. I managed to find xorg-6.9.0 under the directory you mention above ".../ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/..." and downloaded it. But, when I did the package add, it wouldn't go for me because the package dri was missing. Well, I probably overlooked it somehow, but I couldn't find the "dri" package on the ftp server. Thankfully, a thought dawned on me that perhaps these packages would exist in the cd's I burned of 6.2-RELEASE. I was able to find both packages on that CD (disk 1) and although there was a slight warning when I did the pkg_add for the dri package (some other package it requires was of a higher version than it was looking for), all installed ok and I'm now working through the install to xorg 7.2. Thanks again, Andy
