Now I read on the fbsd site the following text: /quote/ As mentioned in a prior section, Xorg is the default implementation of the X Window System. The Ports Collection (as well as packages) rely on this change to satisfy dependencies. To convert the installed windowing system from XFree86 to Xorg, refer to the Installing X11 section in the FreeBSD Handbook. /endquote/ Does this mean that compiling from source will be difficult on my 4.10 machine which runs XFree86? I don't want to change to Xorg (yet). Are there things to do to keep on running 4.10 and ports for a while without a hassle? -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.10 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
