Okay, sorry for bothering you again, but I need some help.  All the
directions for everything on the ports collection assume that the
person has internet access with FreeBSD.  This is not the case with me.
 I have FreeBSD on my laptop, which is not connected to the internet,
 so I need to know how to do everything holding in mind that I am
 connected to the internet with WinNT and use a Zip drive to transfer
 files over to my laptop.

Am I supposed to install the neomagic driver as I'm installing X, or
afterwards?  When I tried "make configure" in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86,
it gave me the error message that it couldn't find X332src-1.tgz.  Then
it tried to download it using ftp, which, of course, failed.  So I went
to one of the ftp sites (ftp.xfree86.org) and downloaded X332src-1.tgz,
along with everything else in the /source directory.  I then put these
files in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and tried "make configure again."  No
luck.  I got the same error message.  What's going on?

BTW, the reason I'm posting these questions here and not asking the
XFree86 project is because I'm trying to do this with the ports
collection, which is _not_ the way the XFree86 docs tell you to do it...
