See that is the problem...this is a fresh install I haven't downloaded Xfree86 yet and the packages that I am installing all require it...I ftp'd to ftp.de.freebsd.org and ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.se.freebsd.org and even europa.netdot.net and looked in the /pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/distfiles directory for the XFree86-3.3.3.1 package and didn't see it. Since I didn't see it I guess that is why /stand/sysinstall didn't see it either, hence couldn't install, hence the Warning...Warning package required XFree86-3.3.3. could not be found. Installation aborted. Blah... Why isn't XFree86 being offered by the freebsd sites? if it is where is it located?
