If you ever need any of the files in=20 /usr/local/oldX11, they will still be there. If, after running for a=20 while, you find that they are no longer needed (and you need the disc=20 space), rm -fr the directory. The reason the script is written that way is because the authors have no=20 idea what you might have done in the way of altering files to fit your=20 install, and they are not going to arbitrarily overwrite them. That's=20 your decision as owner of the machine. Since you don't clearly understand = that already, it's unlikely you have anything critical that needs to be=20 saved, but caution dictates that you put them somewhere, just in case. After you've done that, if you still can't run X, go to=20 /usr/ports/x11/xorg/ and run make install clean.
