My question is this - If I download the Xfree86.tar (for XFree86-3.3.2) and use pkg_add, then delete the X-servers I don't need; will this suffice?? or am I missing some critical steps here. If this is not the best way to achieve this, then what steps should I follow?? (I have 18mths Linux/SunOS experience, so I don't mind tinkering - but my internet connection is slow, and has a tendency to stall my ftp connections - so a full ftp/ports process is not my best option) Dave E.
